This was not a well thought out article, his arguments where weak and inaccurate. First the author does not really have an understanding of what Open Source is, he seems to use it in many different context. Second the article did not really make sense as of the author put little thought or fact finding in the article.

Open Source is a movement to create the best software for the community while keeping it free of shackles and other corporate tactics. The idea is anybody can use it and enhance it to meet there needs and not be at the mercy of the corporate who owns the license. There is no one body who is behind open source it's just a philosophy where anybody can participate

Blaming Open Source for the proliferation of eBook formats seems illogical, since the vast majority of the book formats are proprietary, these formats where written by business to keep their customers locked to their products in order to dominate the market.
It also stated that these open source programs had the ability to read DRM sources when that is not true DRM, the limitation is in the licensing not source code related.
