A comment on HP to Contribute webOS to Open Source. Parent comment
You're right, HP still control the trademarks. But for a license to meet the Open Source Definition, there can be no 'non-commercial' restrictions.
So selling 'Foo' (derived from WebOS) is fine.But using the WebOS trademark isn't.
Just like Oracle distribute and sell support for 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' - 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux' is a trademark that belongs to Red Hat.
