eCosCentric does contribute to the public CVS repository. They keep
all of their releases internal to their branched version of eCos,
eCosPro. The commercial arm of RTEMS (OAR Corporation) has not
branched from RTEMS, so all of their contributions and releases are
within the public tree.

I believe there was some talk on the RTEMS mailing list about getting
something similar to VxWorks' RTPs going within RTEMS. I don't know
if this ever came to fruition.
Hope this helps,
