BSPs were a mix usually Apache or some more permissive license for common dev boards. They had something more limiting for the kernel. I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen a bootleg version of it floating around somewhere online. They also had pretty liberal hobbyist/non-commercial license which let you learn the toolchain and develop with some of the middleware. That all went away when RIM (blackberry now) bought them. Re: manuals - QNX Cookbook was also pretty good read. The documentation from that era were published as real books.
