Yes, RMS is an extremist, but his central point is valid. It's very difficult to develop and deploy open source web apps.
However, I'm not sure that it wouldn't be easily done if there was a demand for it. Most web frameworks come with easy ways to run the environment locally, so you should be able to release a RoR app open source without many problems. It just doesn't seem to be in high demand.
