I don’t know either, and I think OP didn’t read the article. What the fuck is open source limb? Open source retina? What does recharging mean in that context? Swapping the battery or faceplanting on an inductive charger?
Or perhaps OP meant manually updating your eye instead of relying on a company? But in that case, a battery swap is not even related to open/closed source topic.
Open source hardware is a thing. See: raspberry pi, pine64, etc.
In hardware, open source means the schematics are available and the device is built with commonly available components; eg: no proprietary chips, standard discrete components, pcb schematics and plans available.
Now it makes sense. It would be better if people started calling it “open hardware” instead of extending open source to cover the transparency of the hardware’s design.
Open source is originally associated with software and refers to source code that is made freely available and can be modified and redistributed.
Open hardware means that the design specifications, schematics, and related information are made freely available for users to study, modify, and distribute.
The same as a closed source one? What does charging something have to do with an app? I’m not even sure what you’re saying.
