And I confused you once more: it doesn't matter whether you are ok
with the copyright system, what matters is whether the copyright
system is ok with your copyright notices; the question is
whether your notices are valid.

No. According to GPLv3, the schematics aren't included
in the Corresponding Source Code, and even when the design
comes under the GPL, the copyleft usually doesn't cover
the physical hardware,
