There isn't much important proprietary software in this apartment except maybe for the firmware of the dishwasher / microwave, washing machine and additionally whatever software runs in an old car.

WebOS is OSS?

I think so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS

I don't know about every component, but there is the Linux kernel and a lengthy list of open source components and licenses somewhere in the settings and manual. And you can get a busybox shell or something alike.
