I wasn't aware of this, but in all fairness, the article doesn't say that 
Plextor is against opensource tools in general, but that they have a problem 
with this particular too because (they claim) it infringes on their rights 
and does not honour the terms and conditions that accompany the drive.

Although I don't like their stance, but they do seem to have a reasonable 
complaint.

And so it happens with all leading brands, doesn't it.  Toyota is known for 
their reliability.  But the *one* Toyota I had was a horrible car, kept 
breaking down, kept costing me money.
