I don’t think the current Fairphone models can be called Open Source Hardware as the hardware design / PCB layout has not been made public.

Is it already published?

If FP made it’s hardware Open (licensed), that would be a huge deal-maker. Stallmanists can currently not really own a modern smartphone, and even if FP devices are not top-of-the-line, they are certainly up to par with modern standards.

FairPhone would dominate the market for all of us.

It would already be great to have 100% open source hardware drivers.
