This is really good news. Let's look at the authorization Protocol it uses.

Linux Kernel + GNU has formed the so-called Linux operating system. With the rise of the Internet, it swept across the server market under the impetus of IBM and gradually occupied a place in the desktop market.

In the Mobile Terminal Market, WebOS is fully qualified to become the next "Linux operating system ". WebOS is also based on Linux kernel. However, for mobile device operating systems, there are many special problems to solve, especially smooth and elegant user experience and efficient management of power consumption. The development of traditional Linux operating systems on the desktop is slow, and there are many attempts in the smartphone field, but it has little impact on the actual market. Android can have such a great deal of potential for such a rough game. WebOS is currently the only system comparable to iOS in terms of user experience. If we use a loose open-source authorization system, we can become game changer.

Looking back at the recent ups and downs of this industry, it's a big time!

PS: http://www.precentral.net/open-source-plan HP is prepared for the entire release, the most cruel in this:

Considering
The foundational mobile device patents that HP holds, such as "Integrated
Handheld computing and telephony system and services, "I. e." Smartphone ", HP shouldn't have much difficulty defending WebOS from the apples, Samsungs, and Las of the world.

Together, as long as the smart phone is "infringing" HP patents!

About hardware:

HP says there is no plan to create new hardware for WebOS for the moment, but if the plan to add WebOS to a printer continues, it should at least be used on touchsmart, it will be the most powerful guarantee for the success of WebOS. If the authorization agreement permits, a group of third-party manufacturers will soon release the equipment, except for a group of domestic users who like to possess their own intellectual property rights, and the domestic and foreign counterparts, some large factories may also try water.
