A while back there was a Wired article regarding I2O.  It
described some anti-I2O sentiment by free software advocates,
claiming it wasn't open.  The article even had a link to
a publicly available spec, but it was only there for a few
days.  I still have a copy stashed away at my ftp site if anyone
is interested:

  ftp://ftp.pcnet.com/users/eischen/I2O/ver1-5.pdf.gz

A quick search of the FreeBSD archives will give you the link
to the [almost] original Wired article.  It doesn't mention the
I2O spec anymore.
