Yes. You can read the opinion of Adrian Bowyer (RepRap's founder) regarding open source here: RepRap and Open Source.Quote

Is this the forum of a open source based community?
Perhaps. In my opinion, any attempt to enforce a solution to this "problem" results in new problems that are much, much worse. There is a history of nasty arguments here wherein people who feel entitled to source files demand them of a developer who doesn't feel obligated to release them. People waste a lot of energy getting upset, and in the end no one is happy and nothing gets resolved. If a developer doesn't respond after a few polite requests, then my advice is to let it go...Quote

i've seen a few topic already where the poster seems to avoid or ignore any requests for sources files. Is that a problem?

People can't even agree what "Open Source" means, even though it's well defined by the licenses and has been in use for software for decades.

Open Source Hardware (OSHW) Statement of Principles 1.0
Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design. The hardware’s source, the design from which it is made, is available in the preferred format for making modifications to it. Ideally, open source hardware uses readily-available components and materials, standard processes, open infrastructure, unrestricted content, and open-source design tools to maximize the ability of individuals to make and use hardware. Open source hardware gives people the freedom to control their technology while sharing knowledge and encouraging commerce through the open exchange of designs.

I think it is a shame that the Open Source concept gets so widely abused, to the point of being a meaningless marketing buzz word
