The rant describes the bad kind, the look-but-don't-touch Open Source.
That's "source available," which the author specifically also mentions.
The point is about entitlement to having your changes accepted by upstream, as well as entitlement to support from the devs. Neither exists, open source merely protects your rights to modify and distribute changes yourself, it says nothing about obligations about the person providing the code in the first place.
