WebKit has to be open source because it's a KHTML fork.
- cwzwarich 6y agoThis isn't actually true. KHTML is LGPL 2.0, so you can release source code for the pieces you modified and binary blobs for the rest. WebKit proper (as opposed to WebCore, which was based on KHTML, and JavaScriptCore, which was based on KJS) was originally not open source.
- arusahni 6y agoInteresting. Thanks for the correction!
