Or the fact that you need a binary blob to boot an operating system on it.

Or the fact that the board design is not open source, unlike the BeagleBone.

What do you miss of in the board schematics?

The problem is the copyright: "Design (c) 2011, 2012 Raspberry Pi Foundation All Rights Reserved" As far as I know the schematics are not open-source, i.e. there's no right to use them other than as documentation for the (proprietary) Raspberry Pi-manufactured board. The BeagleBone, on the other hand, has an open-source license for their schematic under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.
