HP Plans To Release Open-Source WebOS In September

Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) said Wednesday that it plans to release the full open-source version of WebOS in September, while also offering a road map of key milestones along the way.

HP also released the source code for Enyo 2.0, its WebOS development environment, which allows developers to write applications that run on both mobile devices and PC Web browsers. HP is planning to release Enyo version 2.1 in April and version 2.2 in July.

Enyo was one of the key assets HP gained in its $1.2 billion acquisition of Palm in July 2010, and HP Chairman Ray Lane has referred to it as "the leading Web app development environment today."

HP will distribute both WebOS and Enyo under the Apache license version 2.0, which is also the predominant license for Android and OpenStack.
