向黑莓请求重新授权古老的QNX源代码是否有意义?
17岁的QNX源代码(可以在github.com/vocho/openqnx找到)没有明确的许可证文件或状态。从理论上讲,人们可以使用和实验这些代码,但它们既不是免费软件,也不是完全开源的。
向QSS/黑莓公司请求将其重新授权为例如Apache 2.0许可证(他们用于启动代码源的相同许可证)是否有意义?
如果有意义,撰写或发布一份公开请愿书是否合理?

The 17-year-old sources of QNX (to be found at github.com/vocho/openqnx) don't have a clearly-defined license file/status. In theory, one can use them, experiment with them, but they're neither free-, nor completely open-source.<p>Does it make sense to ask QSS/Blackberry to re-license them under e.g. Apache 2.0 license -- the same license they use for their startup code sources?<p>If yes, does it make sense to write/publish an open petition?
