[clue] Group buy for BeagleBoneBlack , RBPi and accessories

[David L. Willson]

I thought there was also a quantifiable difference in free vs proprietary hardware content . I thought the BBB was significantly free-er than the RPi, but also not entirely free. Is the Arduino still the model of free-ness, as far as SBC's go?

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
