Yeah, the article blatantly misrepresents faсts, and the title is particularly wrong. Though it might work as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succ%C3%A8s_de_scandale because more people will become aware of Allwinner based ARM boards and other devices (hdmi dongles, tablets, TV boxes, netbooks, ...)
The Allwinner A10/A13 hardware is very free software friendly thanks to lack of signed bootloaders (any device can boot GNU/Linux from SD card instead of the preinstalled firmware in NAND), availability of documentation, reasonably feature-complete problem-free community maintained custom LTS kernels based on the vendor code drop, and quickly progressing real mainline kernel support.
