It was at one point. unfortunately RIM got their dirty hands on it...


If someone has the source code from back when it was publicly available I would really appreciate it being posted on Github. (Assuming that the license allows it).

I have looked for a copy many times over the years but am always amazed that somehow no copy appears to have survived.


It wasn't really open source anyway.

"Access to QNX source code is free, but commercial deployments of QNX Neutrino runtime components still require royalties, and commercial developers will continue to pay for QNX Momentics® development seats"

I was so mad that I hadn't downloaded the sources before it was too late. So was everybody developing for QNX. All open source development for QNX stopped on that date.

On that date, RIM stock was worth $69.97 per share. Today, $7.60.

Correlation does not imply causation.


It is suggestive of competence though.


You can still probably find it on torrent trackers (i just checked and there’s 6.5.0 with like 10 seeds)

BSPs were never opened tho (except generic x86, i think) but it’s simple enough that one could probably botch it together in couple of weekends.
