QNX bounties perhaps?

You missing a lot of stuff:

  1. TDKs
  2. GCC 3.3.1 which not working in NC version.
  3. in future I will not able to reinstall QNX without downloading an ISO image again and again to obtain 30-day trial key …
  4. Losing the standart support group.
  5. a much more …

World is not black or white, it’s grayscale.

P.S. Guys from QSSL promised to talk abot license renewing. Lets see.

IMHO, QNX should provide a free partner license to someone who does such a project (3rd party CD). However, you must not wait until it falls from heaven, instead you should ask at partners@qnx.com . If there is no response, then tough luck for QNX. :frowning:

Of course it did, my Alliance license was from beta testing of QNX since 6.2, then 6.2.1, then 6.3, but since 6.3 license is time-limited.

Anyway this time-limited license stuff was a stupid step from QSSL side, anyone who just wants to play QNX will find a keygen, others who used it at work will buy a developer and runtime certificates anyway. These TDKs separation and license stuff just killed a community (scanty enough without any restrictions) and doesn’t bring any benefit to anyone: nor community, nor QSSL, nor developers.

It wasn’t too much work, it was work that the two main people working on it (of which I was one) decided was a waste of time and energy. Soon after we stopped I left QSS and the other guy got involved in other projects within the company. It should be obvious by now that QSS really has no interest in supporting a free/download version of QNX for any purpose other then evaluation for commerical use. No community, no hobby users, nothing of the sort. Is this a bad move? Only time will tell.
