The other reasons suffice to advice against
raspberry pi 0.

expand into hardware sales.
Freedombox does want to sell a freedombox hardware
package.

Why is that important? Who makes the raspberry pis?

> If you speak about Raspberry Pi as a not so good
hardware,

Are you aware what free software is? Watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM
Then you get to know why raspberry pi is an
unacceptable
choice. If you ask freedombox they likely will answer
they only reluctantly provide a non free software
raspberry pi
image. They likely only provide a raspberry pi
freedombox
image because there are more than 10 million raspberry
pis.

too, since v1...

Did I say raspberry pis have no hdmi?

> Raspberry Pi got 1Go RAM... (Orange Pi is only
512Mo ? Yes ?) +

1gb ram is better. Does not change that raspberry
pi is unacceptable in terms of free
software and 30usd.
If orange pi one's 512mb is enough has to be tested.
 
> 4 USB

How many usb connectors are required to run a
freedombox?

Add an usb hub and the orange pi one gets an equal
number of
usb connectors.

> 10$ computer ;)

Do the freedombox use graphic hardware support?
In armbian xenial graphic hardware support is
availble. Freedombox will have to
decide if orange pi one can run freedombox.
Raspberry pi runs raspbian. Is that any advantage
regarding freedombox?

To reach a low price freedombox should only
provide one
freedombox hardware package option.
