Several readers sent word of HP's announcement that the company will be contributing webOS to the open source community. According to HP's press release, they will continue to be active in webOS's development, and one of their goals will be to avoid fragmentation. ENYO, the application framework for webOS, will also go open source in the near future.

This is a company dumping dead code that it doesn't have any more use for.
Didn't HP recently say they planned on using it in printers [slashdot.org]?
