There are some Non-Free modules, which apparently are for use with the proprietary Enterprise Edition. From their legal page: "Odoo 8 is released under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License (also known as AGPLv3)." "Odoo 9 Community Edition is licensed under the LGPL version 3 (also known as LGPLv3)." "Odoo 9 Enterprise Edition is licensed under the Odoo Enterprise Edition License v1.0, defined as follows: (...) can only be used ... with a valid Odoo Enterprise subscription ... You may develop Odoo modules based on the Software and distribute them under the license of your choice, provided that it is compatible with the terms of the Odoo Enterprise Edition License (For example: LGPL, MIT, or proprietary licenses similar to this one)."

Yes, but that's not the (controversial) claim in the article, the claim is that you can't upgrade without reverse-engineering the new database schema yourself. The article doesn't really address the issue of a plugin not being available as Free software. While FSF/RMS doesn't particularly like closed source software of any kind (it interferes with the four freedoms), this article deals more with Free software that is hemmed in by various "external" constraints. Data migration being the example referred to. And, which I perhaps was unclear that I was referring to, when I paraphrased: "used to do this, but we don't any more".
