For their part, Siemens releases the code upstream:
https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/coreboot.git/tree/src/mainboard/siemens

As with your case the firmware for their products is basically invisible to
the customer. Nevertheless if the customer wants to examine the code or
make changes they can easily do so. Relevant license information is found
in the header of each source code file as well as the COPYING file at the
root of the coreboot directory.

Werner (cc'd) might be able to share some more details about how they
handle compliance matters.
