Is the PinePhone board open source?
#1
Hi!

I'm researching and developing hardware for Virgo.  

https://virgo.org/about/

Our end-goal hardware-wise is an open source mobile phone, and I wanted to follow up with you guys about the PinePhone.  

I'm curious if any of the hardware on the PinePhone is open source?  

For example, the PCB design, case, display, or anything else for that matter.


Thanks!

PS: I really love the idea of phone as dev platform for mobile Linux, and I plan to pick up a PinePhone as soon as the next batch is available.
