 Daneben unterliegen natürlich nicht alle Teile einer Distribution
 den gleichen Lizenzbedingungen und einige Unterroutinen können unter
 Umständen im kommerziellen Einsatz kostenpflichtig sein. Die meisten
 kommerziellen Lösungen für Linux sind alles andere als Open Source.

This isn't wrong, only exaggerated, and picking only the arguments of
one side (they don't say that there are distributions that are fully
free, too). More accurate would be:

 Einige kommerziellen Lösungen für Linux sind alles andere als
 Open Source.

If they want to show examples, all they have to do is show a SuSE box
or a Caldera box.

This is actually a good thing, and nothing for them to be ashamed of:
Open standards, readable by people not running their products, etc.
