   @coolboymew @thomholwerda it was so nice. No X11 this was its own thing. The Photon window environment http://toastytech.com/guis/qnx621.html

     @olmitch @coolboymew @thomholwerda Unfortunately even if RIM divests and QNX decides to properly release source again, there's less than zero chance Photon will be included--- something about third party licensing entanglements that weren't carefully thought thru at the time. However, the core technology is described in documentation -and- a software patent (US6397262B1) so not all is lost.

     Release QNX as open source, you Canadian cowards.
