They're out there, just poorly cataloged.  RunRev currently only lists 
components they resell, and the DMOZ index contains only a slender 
subset of what's available:

Relative to ROI, I can't argue with them there.  How many folks on this 
list are using IRIX?

I hope I never see the day when RunRev takes resources away from product

RunRev's license seems very clear to me, and I don't expect them to 
assist me with negotiating my own contracts with my clients.
