Now it makes sense. It would be better if people started calling it "open hardware" instead of extending open source to cover the transparency of the hardware's design.

Open source is originally associated with software and refers to source code that is made freely available and can be modified and redistributed.

Open hardware means that the design specifications, schematics, and related information are made freely available for users to study, modify, and distribute.
