I don't know. I'll try to poke and ask. The engineer I used to work with at the Mill and later Intelligrated has retired (a lot of that with our generation). But I still know some of the execs at the former Intelligrated (now part of Honeywell), so I'll see if I can find out who owns that product these days. If I learn anything interesting, I'll pass it back.

FWIW: BB is offering support: i.e.: https://blackberry.qnx.com/en/support claims such, but what does that mean?

Thanks for that Clem. One question though, all those companies want
support. Is there anyone still providing support? I see QNX.com is
a thing but is there an actual team of good people working on it?
