Read a bit further

Migicovsky, Pebble's founder, is starting a new company focused on gadgets like the Pebble. He's starting with a single new Pebble model that will run the old OS and be hackable for new apps and ideas.

Didn't he sell out to fitbit and all the pebble employees lost their jobs?

The company was insolvent, when it was taken over by Fitbit. That's not selling out.

Am I missing something? They create a company that creates a watch with a FLOSS operating system? How is that bad? What?
