I wonder if the OGP OpenGraphics qualifies as one of the oldest.
http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php

At least, that's probably one old open hardware project trying to address some annoying limitations of hardware (namely 3D chipsets lack of programming documentation).
It seems to me OpenCores is even older: www.opencores.org

Strange Bruce Perens does not mention them.

I have always considered the Open Graphics project to be very important. I hope they eventually become more than a prototype - one has to be a developer to get an OGD1. But I note that there have been no announcements since 2010.
