I used 'Open System' term many times but today I got some time to think, in detail, about the very deep meaning of it. So here it goes...
An open system is one for which the architecture is not a secret. Just take example of TCP/IP system, which is Open. The TCP/IP protocols are same for every system. Whether its your laptop-PC using TCP/IP or your android smart-phone downloading apps from market. The architecture is same irrespective of the systems that use them. So this has many advantages, UNIX is a very good example of Open system software.
