Open hardware means availability of schematics and gerbers, not source code, and this is not open hardware. Driver code is still in the software realm. For compulab's PXA270 boards, this is their listed OS support:
http://www.compulab.co.il/x270em/html/x270-em-os-support.htm Since they list linux support presumably there is source but I would check to make sure before buying. For harware details, products like this will usually include enough documentation of the hardware to do any kind of interfacing you need, but it's not open hardware unless they provide the full schematics and gerber files to produce pcb boards.
