Actually this is the second time webOS is open sourced.

First time was by HP after the acquisition and Palm more or less went poof, just about 4 years ago.

In fact, the original repositories are still available on GitHub:

According to https://pivotce.com/2018/03/19/open-source-webos-now-brought... "they open sourced…well…bits and pieces of it back in 2012." So it wasn't a full release.

It was also launched AS webOS back in 2009. PalmOS was something different.
