I don't that's the issue. The post is credited to:

Nichols Communications for the Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Jay Nichols

A public relations business based in San Francisco should have that sorted out whether or not the actual author was a native English speaker or not.

It just says media contact. I am not clear if that means they actually wrote it or not?

At the top of the article it says Ottawa (which is where the headquarters of the Eclipse Foundation is located). There are a lot of French speakers around there so I assumed it was a French speaker who wrote it.

Regardless it seems like somebody at Eclipse should have reviewed the memo before it was released.
