Altium have recently released 'circuitmaker' which is basically a $0 version of Altium, for open hardware. I guess it's meant to compete with Eagle, which a lot of open hardware projects use.

It's still closed source (like Eagle). And it's Windows-only. And currently there's a DirectX conflict with VirtualBox so you can't use it there (reportedly it works in other VMs). But it's cheaper than paying $9000-a-seat-plus-$1000-a-year-maintainance for commercial Altium.
