Clickability as Open Source?

I received an e-mail this weekend from a very confused researcher of Web Content Management systems. The first result they found in their search results (Ask, Google) was this paid advertisement from Clickability:

I don't blame this person for being confused -- as readers of The Web CMS Report 2008 know, Clickability is not an Open Source offering. Apparently Clickability's marketing department has confused Software as a Service for Open Source.

Unless, of course, Clickability released their codebase into open source and didn't tell anyone about it? I highly doubt it.

This is just another example of why we constantly preach that you can't always believe the hype...
