This is BS; the bug was found by people analyzing the open-source code because anyone can do so. Also, criticizing the developer because he's a PhD student makes zero sense; the two best developers I've known were a student and a 13-year-old.
I also love how the author puts a thinly-veiled plug of his slimy "open-source" code-selling website in the middle. As benatkin said in his excellent comment [0], all four of their featured products are closed-source. The OSI should sue them for violation of their trademark of the term "open source".
