Gentoo/QNX ???

Hi !

I know some years ago QNX was free for personnal use + (I'm not sure on this) open source ...

Is any rumors about Gentoo/QNX ??? like the Gentoo/*BSD project. It could be really interresting to got a multi-kernel OS in a short time + real time OS (I'm not sure if linux or BSD* can be RTOS too ...)

Thanks

As a total layman :roll:

NO

So different in origin and design :arrow:

Wouldn't want to walk on two different legs either.

No, QNX was never opensource... it was a commercial microkernel-based Unix clone.

Gentoo could be ported to it... from what I recall of Neutrino 2.1 (which I have here), it wasn't that different to other POSIX-compliant OSes... but it certainly wasn't opensource.

YEah now I remember ... there was a openqnx communauty at the time but the OS itself wasn't open source.

Thanks anyhow

They double license the code in september last year.

I don't get this double license things, isn't it double standars?
