I was told that OpenMesh is also shipping an already unlocked version of it in
regions which don't requires closed down versions. They called it
"(International Version)". But I am not an OpenMesh employee and don't have
access to all details of their current shipping policy.
But you can also try to get in contact with the customer support to get this
resolved. They should be able to find a solution for your problem when you
are in a region which doesn't require the FCC lockdown (but you still got
devices which were locked down).

If you found a GPL violation then please get in contact with OpenMesh support
to get it resolved. They were quite willingly in the past to provide the source
code of the GPL portions of the firmware . Maybe your are just talking
about some formal problem - at least I cannot know about them because I never
received a retail/boxed version of their products.

No private keys are shipped with the product or the firmware flash tools. The
image itself only has signatures (cryptographically signed hashes). But this
is what you most likely already knew when you saw "fwupgrade.cfg.sig"
during the flash process.
Kind regards,
