It's <1% of the viewed web maybe (I don't know that for sure, but let's stipulate).
But open content is not 1% of the existing web; there are more than a billion[1] websites, and anybody can make one.
You might not easily be able to find those websites (currently, there's still a good chance you might, via the major search engines, but that is subject to corporate hegemony, state actor malfeasance, shit-flooding the zone, etc).
But I think the ability to "put it out there" counts for most of the definition of "open".
Being able to consume content on your terms is also cool, but not as fundamental as being able to produce it.
