That QNX demo floppy was _magical_ back in the late 90's, revealing just how fast things _could_ feel on a 486 DX2 or DX4 CPU compared to the same use on Linux/Windows at the time.

I've always had a somewhat positive view of QNX since then, but intermediate ownership and open/commercial status changes always kept me away from it. Sadly, this "opening" is familiar enough, and previous experience lead me to believe unless it gets a truly open GPL license and a large enough FOSS community to maintain a fork, this'll just get rug pulled again...
