Rather than speculate about whether Kermit is free, just visit the Kermit
Project website:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ <-- Top
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/kermit.html <-- What Is Kermit?
In particular, look at the C-Kermit FAQ:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckfaq.html
Which contains a section "How Is C-Kermit Licensed?"
Here is where to find C-Kermit 7.0 (for QNX and SCO and other platforms):
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
As you will see you can download it and use it all you want. The only sense
in which it isn't "free" is you can't make a product out of it or incorporate
it into a product, etc, without a license.
I hope this is all clear from the website, where anybody can go to find out
about Kermit software.
By the way, we go to some lengths to ensure that C-Kermit, in each release,
is available for QNX in both 32-bit and 16-bit versions.
