How does it prevent using GPSd?
It's a job of a user to correctly setup GPSd, it's a job of GPSd to 
communicate with devices.
Why do you care about it?

Are you kidding? How old is this article? Almost everything is wrong 
there and this zombie must be killed.
BTW, the last release of gypsy was on 28 Aug 2012 and GPSd is actively 
developed.

 From the standpoint of an application developer it would be much better 
to use only Geoclue2.
