Well, the Kickstarter page contains links to http://pine64.com, where it says:
"Why PINE64?
PINE64 is an open source platform from both hardware to software. "
And that is quite explicitly saying that the hardware is open source, too.
I don't care if it's written "Open Source Hardware" or "open source platform from both hardware to software"!
The meaning is clear.
And it's even in the "Why PINE64?" section. So it's definitely one key argument to buy this particular board.
And no matter if I tell you a product is Open Source Hardware, or the hardware is open source, or an open source platform, it means that in some way people will be able to access the hardware sources! If not, the statement is wrong!
