the goal of cyanogen mod is NOT to create a completly free android distribution with open source hardware drivers (for 1 or 2 devices).

It's more about "mod"ify existing android to get the best out of as many as posible devices.

Just about. I doubt they have the resources to really pursue a full OSS hardware stack, even if they wanted to.
