Well, one thing that seems really more "open" in OpenBSD is public
readonly CVS access (as advertised, don't know if this is up for
now). 

I'd really like to see this for NetBSD/FreeBSD, too. As an example, it
would make it much easier to look at John Dyson's work on the VM
system without having to ask someone to check out all these changes.
