Apparently QNX offer non-commercial licenses for certain projects \
(http://www.qnx.com/legal/licensing/non_commercial.html). I have contacted them about \
this and am waiting to hear back.

I was under the impression that the BSPs typically contain the stuff you need to \
build an OS image, but not the image itself. Building the image from the BSP requires \
the SDP, which as you point out is only available under license. Regardless, as you \
say, there is still the issue of being able to produce the binaries to test in the \
first place.

I don't see what the ongoing issue is. The tester can just create a
Foundry27/myQNX account, and login to download the BSP for the device
under test (DUT) that is shipped out to them for testing libusb. The
6.6.0 SDP and other tools require licenses, but the BSP (ie: bootloader,
OS image, etc), doesn't. Even if the BSP has distribution constraints,
there's nothing stopping any random person on the Internet from making a
free account and downloading the BSP.

This of course, will be tedious for the tester, as he/she won't be able
to rebuild anything provided to them.
