Yeah this - “That's why [if you want to start a new project] you need to apply for an open source license.” - is just weird.
Maybe it's a misquote and for wasn't originally in there.
Also don't really like this - "If you want public domain, use the MIT license"
If you want public domain then use public domain, it's just that you need to know what that means. Perhaps you do know what that means and that's exactly what you want.
What I would take from the article (about the only thing really) is that it's important to think about this stuff, and to think carefully before giving rights away.
