I think the author is a little confused. The Soylent Corporation (soylent.me) has not said anything about publishing or "open-sourcing" the recipe. I doubt they would.

They will be required publish the nutrition facts and ingredients, but that's not the same as a recipe.

Also, "Soylent" at this point refers to their product, so using their name for your DIY version risks serious trademark infringement.

EDIT: They do plan on publishing the "formula" (http://discourse.soylent.me/t/will-the-official-soylent-reci...)

That is what I was thinking. I'm not sure who even owns the "Soylent" mark since it comes from a book that was also made into a movie.
For food purposes, I think Rob does now.
