The ISA is opensource the CPU itself is proprietary.

The Talos uses a proprietary CPU, only the ISA is open.

over half the cost comes from having 8GB of RAM during the current DDR price fixing bubble

OpenPOWER membership grants access to everything including verilog and RTL for the Power9 CPU. The whole point of the foundation is to further the proliferation of the PowerISA and having reference implementations available for members so they can easily develop Power-based ASICs greatly aids in this. Membership also provides things like system reference designs which is how Raptor managed to get their product to market quickly given the size of their team.
IBM has also made every piece of documentation relevant to the end user publicly available including a complete description of all the registers on the Power9 CPUs. There is enough publicly available documentation for the Power9 CPUs that if someone wanted to they could create all the required CPU firmware from scratch unlike the HiFive.
