QNXMomentics Non-Commercial (NC) End User License Agreement

This QNX Momentics Non-Commercial (NC) End User License Agreement (comprising Part A - Background, Part B - Standard Terms & Conditions, and Part C - Supplementary / Alternative Third Party Software Terms, collectively "this Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and QSS, and is made effective as of the date of your acceptance of this Agreement, as defined above. The parties agree as follows.

Part A - Background.

A1 QSS has developed and licenses a general purpose modular real-time operating system known as the QNX Neutrino RTOS ("Neutrino RTOS" ). Its microkernel architecture provides an extensible operating system framework, which is based on the foundational components of the Core OS technology. Additional operating system services are implemented by plugging in modules from other elements of the Neutrino RTOS (e.g., Networking, File Systems, GUI, Web Client (browsers), etc.).

QSS also offers bundles of related software development tools (together with the relevant Neutrino RTOS components, collectively the "QNX Momentics Development Suites"), for developers to use to create Neutrino RTOS-based devices ("Target Systems", as further defined below). These development suites include a variety of development tools, including compilers, debuggers, libraries, headers, utilities, sample source code, etc. See the QNX Momentics Development Suite License Guide at http://licensing.qnx.com/published/eula/QDSLG1_03.html ("License Guide" ) for a description of what's included and how it's bundled. You can also contact QSS for a hardcopy. Embedded system developers typically build Target Systems using the QNX Momentics development suits by:

(a)     developing the requisite code to make the Neutrino RTOS operational on their target hardware (i.e., a board support package comprising IPL, start-up and drivers - various parts of which may be available from QSS in binary form for supported processors and peripherals or, alternatively, which may be developed from scratch or derived from QSS-supplied sample source code); and

(b)     integrating Neutrino RTOS object code programs, libraries and utilities with files they generate using QNX Momentics Development Suite tools in order to define the operating system's operational constraints, to tailor its functionality and, if equipped with a GUI, to tailor its appearance, in order to satisfy the requirements of the intended device.

Over the course of a Target System's life cycle, developers typically change hardware platforms (requiring a repetition of step (a) above) and/or upgrade software stacks (e.g., to adopt new versions of the Neutrino RTOS, or of third party software and/or custom components) in order to enhance the device's performance and functionality, or to reduce its cost.

A2 This Agreement is intended to provide you with license rights to a copy of the non-commercial version of the QNX Momentics Development Suite ("QNX Momentics NC") solely for use for Non-Commercial Purposes (as defined below). This Agreement does not offer any support or custom engineering services (see http://www.qnx.com/suppor t/index.html for an explanation of QSS's Standard and Priority Support Plan offerings), nor does it authorize any Software distribution. Contact your authorized QNX sales representative for more information about a commercial license and related QSS support plans, or to inquire about your custom engineering service and runtime distribution license options.
