Yes there has. The BiOS initiative by the NGO Cambia aims at open source
biology similar to free and open licenses for software.

>From their website:

"We create and share new biological enabling technologies and platforms that
can be used to deliver innovations. We develop new  licensing and
distributive collaboration mechanisms that have resonance with the open
source software movement, but are tailored for biological innovation."

Their Labs "department" has already developed technologies and put them
under free/open source BiOS licenses:

I'm actually very interested in questions regarding patents and their more
development friendly alternatives, specially in the biotech and drug
development industries.
