“Non-Commercial Single-User License”, tells me that “QNX Everywhere” is slightly better than software licensed with the Microsoft MS-RSL. But not by very much.
It is if one wants to maintain a boundary of trust. Note that being open source doesn’t automatically grant that trust either — seL4’s been open and formally verified for over a decade and hasn’t unseated QNX in automotive/medical. The trust boundary QNX is selling is the cert paper trail, not code secrecy.
