I am looking for a computer. License is open source, royalty free. Can run Debian
GNU/Linux. I found the instruction set architecture "sparc" has open source, royalty free license, and has a 32-bit debian port. Is this the only choice? Where can I get the instructions to build one? Where can I get one, assembled and ready for purchase? I would prefer something more common. I think the most common is x86 architecture with 64 bits, which runs the amd64 debian port. But is x86 proprietary? The single-board computers from olinuxino and beaglebone are advertised to be open source, royalty free. But I found that does not apply to some components on the board. |

Have you considered the OpenRISC architecture, such as is implemented within mor1kx? Or how about any of the newer RISC-V implementations?
