There are both schematics as well as board layout gerber files posted on the site.

The Upverter (YC W11) guys are working on a lot of these issues - their tool aims to be a sort of github for electronics, with browser based EDA tools:

My point is that, even in that case (current silicon scaling stopping at 5nm), there are a lot of potential technologies that could allow Moore's law to continue (nanowires, III-V materials, etc.).

Although I do agree that Open Hardware has a bright future, I'd just like to point out that people have been calling the end of transistor size scaling for a few decades, and technology keeps finding ways to get around the limitations (strained silicon, high-k metal gates, finFETs, etc.).
