So is the modem/baseband the only non-open firmware on there? I think most phones will also have proprietary boot firmware and GPU drivers.

Both Pinephone and Librem 5 have open GPU drivers and boot firmware. However they have proprietary WiFI/Bluetooth drivers. For the latter, Pinephone is using blobs in Linux, while Librem 5 made the firmware part of hardware (non-updatable), trying to get Respects Your Freedom certification from FSF.

The blobs on the pinephone don't run _in_ linux, they are just uploaded to the wifi chip on boot (it's a firmware patch, not full firmware)

True, but FSF still would not accept it as fully free OS: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guideli...

The Librem 5 WiFi drivers are Free Software though.

You are right, my mistake. I am speaking about firmware, not drivers.
