(I notice you ignored my question.)

You know, it would help if you would provide something like, oh, _a URL_, 
when you use relatively vague expressions like "the front page".  Is
copy and paste really so difficult?

It's possible that, by "the front page", you're referring to
http://www.redhat.com/rhx/ .  That page used to say, right near the top,
that the offerings were all open source.  It no longer does.

(Whoops, http://www.redhat.com/products/ still says 

  #  Red Hat Exchange

   Compare, buy, and manage open source business applications. All in one
   place. All from one trusted source.

That very much needs fixing.)

That http://www.redhat.com/rhx/ page hyperlinks to
http://rhx.redhat.com/rhx/ , which autoredirects to
http://rhx.redhat.com/rhx/catalog/products.jspa .  That page used to
say, right near the top, that the offerings were all open source.  It no
longer does.

The hyperlink "More about RHX" goes to
http://rhx.redhat.com/rhx/support/article/DOC-1285.  That page used to
say, right near the top, that the offerings were all open source.  It no
longer does.

Ashlee, I'm missing the part where it's somehow my job to search up and
down all of Red Hat's various Web sites and catalogue everything related
to RHX.  I'm a busy guy, especially right at this moment.  Perhaps you
are, too, accounting for your unavailability for copying and pasting
URLs.  ;->  But yes, evidently I missed some Web text that they still
need to correct.  I'm sure I'll eventually find time to chase down and
examine all RHX references, but today's not looking promising.
