HP Turns WebOS into an Open Source Project

Hewlett-Packard Co (HP) announces on Friday that they are turning webOS into an
open source project.Earlier it was speculated that HP's webOS will be going
away.
For those who dont know what HP's webOS is all about, it is an OS which is based on Linux kernel.
Also it was initially developed by Palm, which was later acquired by HP for US$1.2 billion.

The webOS will be offered under a license that lets hardware manufacturers and
software developers access its source code and use it freely in products.
Palo Alto, California-based company said HP will remain active in developing and
supporting WebOS.
How much it will help webOS to stay in the hunt to servive and how developers
respond to them will be a cause of concern for HP.What do you think about webOS

Hi, thank you for this nice article, but does this means that HP will bring back the HP Touchpad since they have decided in less than a year to stop Touchpad because they don't want to invest in developing Webos. thanks again for this interesting article.
And all I thought is that WEbOS is dead and that HP will be having a hard time to get customer loyalty back,
This is most quite a new comer to us which article really exposed my own face.Many thanks for sharing around your own wisdom.
