Here is Purism's answer to the coreboot's blog: https://puri.sm/posts/about-purism-and-librems-and-cake/

So far they seem to say all the right things, but I guess we should wait to see if they will get FSF's endorsement 

(and, at least for me, for the Canadian dollar to go up against the USD)

I might be wrong about it, but I've always had a strange feeling about
Librem and Purism.  It seems they are not really concerned about user
freedom; I worry about the amount of hardware requiring proprietary
stuff in their notebooks, and I've read a post from one of coreboot's
core developers raising some interesting points:

I prefer to stay in the safe side and go with Gluglug or Thinkpenguin,
at least for now.
