The first open OS (for multiple systems), predecessor to many of the actual OS's was none other than OpenVMS.

Remember Sinclair zx80?(1982).

OpenVMS was designed entirely within Digital Equipment Corporation in 1976. The principal designers were Dave Cutler and Dick Hustvedt. OpenVMS was conceived as a 32-bit, virtual memory successor to Digital's RSX-11M operating system for the PDP-11. Many of the original designers and programmers of OpenVMS had worked previously on RSX-11M, and many concepts from RSX-11M were carried over to OpenVMS.
