Open source version of webOS launches with smart device focus
LG has released webOS Open Source Edition optimized for the Raspberry Pi 3 that expands its HTML5-savvy Linux distro beyond LG smart TVs and fridges to a larger “smart devices” market.
In collaboration with the South Korean government, consumer electronics giant LG announced the release of webOS Open Source Edition, an open source version of its well-traveled, web-oriented Linux distro. Under LG’s ownership, the old Palm- and HP-directed OS has been a largely proprietary stack running on its smart TVs and refrigerators. LG’s webOS OSE, which is backed up by a community site with forums, guides, tools, and source https://liliputing.com/2018/03/lg-releases-webos-open-source-edition-looks-to-expand-webos-usage.htmlcode, is now available to the open source community to build a range of “smart devices.” Optimized for the Raspberry Pi 3, the Apache-licensed platform requires an Ubuntu desktop for development.

LG steps up Samsung rivalry by making webOS platform open source
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result - so the news that LG is looking to make webOS, its proprietary operating system, open source seems to have all the hallmarks of that mistake.
After all, WebOS was developed by Palm all the way back in 2009, moved to HP in 2010 when the company acquired Palm and an attempt to make it open source in failed, before LG bought the technology.
