"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(R) development seats. However, noncommercial developers, academic faculty members, and qualified partners will be given access to QNX development tools and runtime products at no charge."

You are quoting an old press release, not the actual license agreement.

  • It clearly states that the company made the referenced source code version available for free.

    • Yes, but it doesn't tell you the precise legal terms and conditions under which they made it available.

      Which is the whole point – legally speaking, press releases count for very little, the actual text of the license agreement is far more important.
