First, this is the work list to ask about QNX this is Red-Hat Development.
Second, that was not what Thomas Dodd meant;
You can not take the GPL'ed PCI device driver and put it into QNX since QNX
is not GPL. You can rewrite the whole thing or use the device driver for the
same PCI device from another closed source OS and port that but again you
can't take GPL device driver code and put it into non GPL OS (I don't think
that even if the device driver was LGPL'ed that it would be legal either).
