The issue is that "infrastructure which they control" is subject to different interpretations. "Control" could mean owning RYF certified hardware that runs only FSDG compliant distributions, and running everything on it and having only the distribution manage that. It could also mean renting a VM in some random VM provider. It could also mean that they control their account to some SASS provider like github (for CI usage for instance). Denis.
