   I've updated my article on WebOS since HP agrees :-) Now let's see them open it up: http://wmk.me/pYv7CO

     @webmink,if #HP liberates #WebOS, it'll just "thrown over the wall". I'm all for all code being !FaiF, but would a community sprout?

     @bkuhn WebOS is a *great* product. I think there's a good chance community would gather. It could be more open/transparent than Android.

     @bkuhn code thrown over the wall can be quite useful even if #WebOS itself doesn't succeed

     @bkuhn if it is usable as it is open (ie the code release allow rebuild and runing), then there is a chance.

     @hub, yeah,I'm not opposed to #WebOS being liberated & it's worth asking for. I'm just #dubious about how much good it will do. cc: @webmink

     @bkuhn I'd take webOS over Android any day :-)

     @bkuhn if HP liberated drivers and boot loaders it would be of enormous help for !fso and !shr

     @bkuhn HP are still looking for options. If they want to profit from their Palm purchase, IMO it has to involve open source.

     @webmink amen! I know quite a few #foss hackers who were palm users ages ago, when it was most open available. Lot of potential IMO
