"The priced money cow" probably isn't the most fortunate description... IIRC, RIM didn't pay that much for QNX - so the revenue and profits of QNX (and/or potential revenues from patents) can't be that high.
(but yeah, it's unlikely to be left to die, if only because it's used in quite a few "important" places - and I imagine those have some deal which will, more or less, warrant at least continued maintenance, no matter what)

There is no way that QNX dies with RIM. Stop fooling yourself, QNX will be the priced money cow when if rim goes belly up. The patent portfolio is enormous the product is good, and used in more places than anyone think. The qnx division has posted profits for 30 years almost, it will not die with RIM. Unless someone calls the "evil" card ofcourse.
