No. It is required only that the open contents of the work be "clearly
identified". It has been accepted that an extension of the "clearly
identified" standard is that the open material be "human readable" (i.e.
can't be encoded or encrypted in any way). There was some discussion of an
ARCHIVE of all open material, but that is a monumental task and will likely
be a long time in the making.
So, for now, if you want to include Open Material in your own work, you must
BUY the product and scan it.
