And as far as FOSS firmware development goes, Gizmo Board ( http://www.gizmosphere.org/why-gizmo/gizmoboard/) is far superior and actually ships with fully functioning open source firmware derived from coreboot. No blobs, no restrictive licensing.
Cute, but at $200 you'd have to really, really want the FOSS firmware. Even the PCEngines boards (also with FOSS, or at least non-commercial firmware) are half that price, and if you're happy with a generic x86 with non-FOSS firmware you can buy any number of barebones SFF boards for much less.
