The first source release includes the code to the QNX Neutrino microkernel, the base C library, and a variety of board support packages for popular embedded and computing hardware."

"QNX source code is being released with the Apache Licence 2.0, which is compatible with the GNU GPL v3."
But only one way? Can people change the code and release it under GPL v3 only so it can't get transfered back to QNX?
I hate GPL, even if it protects "freedom". It's a little evil to FORCE "freedom" on everyone =P
