If I were to duplicate my own page of a service, I'd need to be able to access all the data of that service, not just the data tied to me. A friend list most likely contains hackergotchis of my friends, and those images are neither tied to me nor did I enter them. So I think an open service needs to provide access to all the data required to create web pages for that users; the data must be available "in the preferred form of making modifications to it" to use a known phrase.
