Seeing this published on Nature's website is quite thick with irony.
1. Pointing fingers at someone else as The Bad Guy is a common tactic for diverting attention away from one's own behavior.
2. If Nature is not positioning itself as open source, then they aren't really doing anything ironic. There is nothing inconsistent with not being open source yourself while calling out a threat to open source stuff.
