Tizen

Tizen (/ˈtaɪzɛn/) is a Linux-based operating system for devices including smartphones, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices, and smart TVs. Its licensing model involves software using a variety of open source licenses which may be incompatible, along with a proprietary SDK. It aims to offer a consistent user experience across devices. The Tizen project resides within the Linux Foundation and is governed by a Technical Steering Group (TSG) composed of Samsung and Intel. Tizen roots back to the Samsung Linux Platform (SLP) and the LiMo Project and recently, Samsung merged its homegrown Bada project into Tizen. Intel put some of its MeeGo work into Tizen.
