Most if not all of BSDs are distributed under variations of the Berkley license. I'm not sure if every single one has qualified with the Open Source Initiative : http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical
OSI is probably the most agreed upon (not actually agreed upon, just the most) authority on what is open source and what isn't.
Conclusion: OpenBSD is in an open source system. It is not a GPL style open source system in that is generally more permissive of copying, barring distributions prior to 1999 that had clauses affecting advertising that were later removed.
