Well, RISC-V is coming and some of that will be fully open source, freely licensed hardware. For example: http://www.lowrisc.org/

Peripherals are a lot more tricky. RISC-V is concentrating on the CPU cores, cache hierarchy and interrupt controller. Peripherals will be proprietary for a while, but could be open source one day.
