I am looking for a free commercial usage & open source RTOS with small

Search your local amazon.com for books by "labrosse", and you'll find
Jean J. Labrosse's "MicroC OS II: The Real Time Kernel (With CD-ROM)",
ISBN 978-1578201037. I

Not free by any definition!

The book is not free, the RTOS is free for educational purposes, albeit not
commerial use. It can be downloaded at www.micrium.com.
At the commercial price it is very close to free unless you think you can
duplicate it in under a week (see VLV in this thread).

It appears to be several thousand dollars *per product*, i.e. you have
to pay again for each project you use it on. While this may still be
value for money (I don't know), I don't think it can be described as
"very close to free".

Especially since there *are* totally, actually free alternatives (and
this was what the OP asked for).
