what do you mean by "work with free software only"? If you mean "run
only free software" I'm afraid you are wrong:

As a matter of fact, running free software only is not enough to enable
user's freedom at full. One must also be able to modify the software
that is running on the device, that is, build and run their own version
- something granted by the GPLv3 (and not by v2).
