It is free/libre indeed. It actually keeps evolving, where possible. Newer 
models for example, have 1GHz processor instead of 800MHz. Not out of planned 
obsolescence, but because of availability without breaking compatibility with 
the design. 
What do you mean with the "plain" of the phone? Do you mean, the 
plan/blueprint, for "compiling from source", so to speak? Schematics are in 
the back of the manual [1], page 89 and further. I did not quickly find a link 
to the gerbil files (or a link to what those files actually are called; the 
files that got the actual routing of wires in all the layers of the board). 

Best regards,

Boudewijn
