LG acquires webOS from HP

[Posted February 26, 2013 by corbet]

LG and HP have announced that LG has acquired the webOS system, including source code, patents, "engineering talent," and more. LG will be taking over the Open webOS and Enyo open-source projects; there is no indication of how enthusiastically the company will support those projects, though.
