Companies like Texas Instruments either charge for their development kits, require you to develop on special developer's hardware, or require you to license your final product for use on their platform. To get your hands on the specs, they may demand you to sign a nondisclosure agreement, they may enforce restrictions on how their product must be integrated with yours, or require you to give up certain rights to your works. Even where they do not charge you for the specifications or licensing, they still retain the right to sue you if you steal their designs.
Bottom line; they own the hardware AND the core software that runs their design, and you are only allowed to use it the way they say you can use it.
As for open platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, the license to use, copy, develop, or distribute products for their platform are freely available, and they maintain no rights to your derivative works. This applies equally for both hardware and software. You can use the designs any way you choose or even make new designs based on theirs. Or you may integrate their design into a larger product if you wanted to. This is one of the reasons why these devices are so popular.
So yes, you could just start making copies of Arduino's board and sell it as your own if you wanted to. But you certainly could not do that with a TI graphing calculator.
