Other threads are long dead, or have advanced to other subjects.

Where's the BSD license? Plus, the core of the QNX microkernel is 8K and only performs message passing IPC and process scheduling. Nothing else has to execute in kernel mode.

It is designed expressly for multimedia content delivery (not much different from a certain other OS, one could say).
