Android is Open Source, but the development process is not and has never been particularly open. The Gingerbread source is currently a closed branch, only accessible to Google and (apparently) select partners. This has been the way of things for every Android release, so it's not like this is anything new or newsworthy about Gingerbread. Although my guess would be the blog author already knows this, and is just trying to be snarky by pretending to not understand that just because a piece of software is open source, doesn't mean all the development will be done openly.
