[Freedombox-discuss] why choose new OSHW (Open Source HardWare)

I got a couple questions -

What is the point of choosing new hardware? Will picking a different
hardware target help to spread the software development? Will a small
percentage of the million RPis get used for privacy work?

Is OSHW  - Open Source HardWare - an acronym with a known definition (I
saw it when checking out https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/)? Is
it a marketing sticker or does it imply there are no resale
restrictions, designs are available and modification is encouraged?

It seems to me the world of SBCs has evolved in the last few years
(http://cubieboard.org/2013/06/22/the-2nd-pcb-model-cubietruck-discussion/),
but the Dreamplug did not
(http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/All-DreamPlug/DreamPlugs) . Did the
hardware get upgraded or the price drop?

Many thanks,
Nick
