The Free Software Foundation (FSF) states in their GPL FAQ that while the GPLv3 can be used to license copyrightable material like hardware drawings or semiconductor masks, it does not impose license obligations on someone who uses that information to create, distribute, or sell physical hardware, as that falls outside the scope of copyright law.
