I prefer free friends to those that charge me money to be my friend.

Companies that act like friends don’t last long. Business and pleasure and all that

I was not saying that software is my friend, I was making an example of how some things are worse if they are paid for.

Android phones are free like speech, not free like beer.

We were not discussing the actual phones, nor even Android itself, but the application software running on phones.

more accurately AOSP phones, since Google Location Services is far from free as in freedom

Does any Android phone run a freely licensed image?
