My big concern is that all these documents even with schematics or anything are no use to open-source projects unless they have a license because with out a license they might as well be All Rights Reserved.

Hardware and software for Fox have an enormous amount of design information available in AMSAT symposium proceedings, available from the AMSAT store. That is a great place to start.
There are a bunch of US laws and regulations regarding spacecraft design that have so far prevented AMSAT from making things as open as all of us want. That being said, interested parties can work with AMSAT Engineering to get good design info and perhaps help open up the information even more. The government seems to be much less concerned about balloons vs spacecraft.
