I'd hardly count Novell and Sun as 'every US open source company'...

  The article only considers public companies. Are they missing some?

    Quite the opposite. Considering Sun and Novell to be "open source companies" obscures the fact that both of them had the bulk of their successes with their closed source products, and only came to a business model related to open source reluctantly. Red Hat is an outlier in that regard, and I suspect it is the main reason that they are still around.
