The RHEL package includes some bundled applications from other vendors
that are proprietary (Java interpreters, media players that kind of
thing), separate to the OS itself. They are not required as part of the
system.

Well if these bundled applications are what you get when you buy RHEL
than I would say the distribution is in some sense closed. Whether they
are required for the system to run seems irrelevant. They are part of
RHEL. Or am I not understanding what you are saying?
