Albert, we need to get some things straight:

1) Please notice that your affirmation about failing to report a method in
a paper published through a peer-reviwed journal is quite serious, and can
have consequences.
2) The authors are entitled to comercialize their intellectual property.
It's not for us to judge.
3) The algorithm is public. Their code is not. Then, like I said, code your
own version. There's literally nothing hindering you from doing it.

Best regards,
João
