The explanation at the end says that none of the large open source software projects would fall under the umbrella of open source software because somebody is making money off of it some way.

But this is exactly the point (which I think is good). This whole thing is applicable if you produce software commercially, regardless if OSS or not

I read it as this: In effect, if you make money of the software you destribute you are responsible to address security issues

I hope that this is a change for the better. Now everyone who piggy-backed on some OSS project so far has to either maintain a fork (-> more contributions) or provide incentive for the dev to fix it (money?)
