I did not read the article till the very last paragraph. My bad. Of course, I do not refute it. So in this particular case they went open source.

However, from my experience in years of publishing to and reviewing for several APS journals, I stand by my statement. Because of 'publish or perish' nobody wants to give up any 'competitive edge' of their particular research. So there is no incentive system in place to foster an open source everything attitude.

This is changing. Slowly, as it seems to be mostly a generational issue.

The younger scientists, current PhD generation and a little up are all fed up with closed source/private data as there are no enough bright examples how good open source/data can work out.
