I really like the CERN open hardware policy - something to aspire to!
CERN makes its technologies broadly available to society and has introduced open hardware licensing as a key mechanism to achieve this goal. Open hardware designs are made available through the Open Hardware Repository. The legal basis for the sharing of open hardware is enabled through variants of the CERN Open Hardware License.(continued in next post)

Continuation of CERN’s Open Hardware policy: Hardware design releases will consider opportunities for collaboration with other research communities and industry. In cases where extensive documentation and ancillary components like software for interfacing and testing are required for projects, these should be licensed under appropriate open source documentation and software licences respectively.
