True, in the sense that some (not Open Source) things are distributed as source code. (I do so myself.)
But the title of the article references Open Source. Capital O, capital S. If something ships under an Open Source (OSS not necessarily FOSS) then you fo have those rights.
The bulk of the article is around support though, and I completely agree with the sentiments there.
