I checked their site. Revolution R has 4 products: Open, Plus, Enterprise, Cloud
1. Open: "This one’s not a difference at all: Revolution R Open 8.0 beta is based on R 3.1.1. No modifications are made to core R".
Simply put it is a repack, comes with extra packages like Reproducible R Toolkit, and has a mirror for CRAN.
2. Their Revolution R Plus is what is RHEL to linux. They provide technical support on top of the Open distribution.
3. This is where it smells fishy. "Revolution R Enterprise Workstation is licensed for a single named user, and available in two editions:". But is it a modified R version. They mention no change to core for open, but not for this. If they use R which is licensed under GPL how can they sell it ? Else if it is proprietary why call it "R"?
4. They provide assistance in running Revolution R Enterprise on a Server.
