It is. All owners of this hardware have the schematics and the rights 
thereof to redistribute.

This is not correct for multiple reasons. For one what the FSF reviewed 
was not the final hardware. The hardware they have reviewed was an early 
prototype that demonstrated we would be in compliance with RYF. The FSF 
does not have any units for RYF yet. Under RYF you would be correct. 
They would in that case get to keep the units/own them. The units they 
were given were on loan. We still owned them. A company can utilize free 
software and refuse to provide its employees with the source and still 
be in compliance.
