- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoWebKit was a fork of KHTML originally... but does that mean Apple didn't introduce it?

- microcolonel 11y agoI don't know, all I said is that much like Apache OpenOffice is a fork of OpenOffice, WebKit is a fork of KHTML. Not sure that's what most people mean when they say "introduce". Like for example, if I were operating a public water supply: I could say that I introduced the practice of chlorinating water, but obviously the practice has been demonstrated with other water supplies. Have I introduced it, or just adopted it? It would be more accurate to say that Apple adopted KHTML as WebKit, then made major contributions to it.
