I believe the hardware itself is not copyrightable (not in USA), it is the design that may be. I think this means that manufacturing and selling the devices does not legally counts as a distribution and the GPL simply can't restrict it; the seller won't have to publish any sources.
Also, some GPLed fonts have well-known `font exception' (As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the GNU General Public License.) > Fonts are very license restrictive, depending on the Font. Good point; it probably should be mentioned in LoadFreetype action help string. The vast majority of fonts may have restrictive licenses; fortunately, there are some that have not.
