I never designed a PCB, so I've no idea if the "PCB layout file" is
enough to fab a board, or if you also need to adjust/tune the tools at
the factory somehow before making a big run.

However I don't see why some competitor would bother producing boards
right now.

See "Developing an Open Source Laptop" at 18 min 55s for a real world
example.
