Well the reMarkable isn't an eBook reader. That is something it can do, but it's more aimed at note taking. You also have root access out of box, which is not something that eBook readers give you.

A lot of eReaders nowadays have Wacom touchscreens, run android, and have an unlocked bootloader.

Unless you limit yourself to mainstream Western eReaders, it's not really the case anymore.

What are some models you recommend?

I quite like my Likebook, but I have the Mars model which doesn't have a pen input.

Wacom touchscreen or pen input? I don't know of any eReaders that have pen input.

Also, are these devices properly GPL compliant?

They do have Wacom pen inputs, plus a normal capacitive touchscreen, and are also compatible with third party pens.

I haven't inquired about GPL compliance.
