You can compare this situation to that of android. There is the 'standard' version(s) of Sailfish from Jolla, (like vanilla Android from Google) and other licensees can tweak it to suit their equipment within the agreed upon boundaries (like other manufacturers are doing to theirs Android devices).
The question is if they'll use own HW, and if so they can put any evil things they want(see it as russian NSA things) and it would not be related to Jolla.
Or they would use Jolla branded devices and this case Jolla would not release source as it would be related to 3rd parties making the phones (at least that's why jolla do not give us flashable images)
