Just like we have software developed by the community, for the community. Can we have the same ideology applied to hardware ?

I happen to know one hardware project coming out of CERN that is under an open license, specifically their own CERN OHL.
That's a pretty interesting example I think.
It does seem to work to a certain degree. We know of four suppliers who build switches according to that projects spec, although there is at least one trying to add proprietary bits in a second product line they push harder.
