2. How hard will it be to fully adapt current Qt for ease of further development?

But overall this has to be a good thing. A (relatively speaking) finished, attractive open source real mobile Linux operating system with some built-in name recognition for the general public. A few million people have seen or at least heard of WebOS. How many people on the street would know what Tizen is?
For obvious reasons, stuff such as the SGX driver isn't open source.

As it stands now, all the GPL components of WebOS are there, just like maemo.org. There isn't really much to open other than the UI and Enyo/Mojo.
