I expect if for an article talking about the history of development effort, for sure.
- Someone 15y agoWell, we disagree about that then. I do no see a reasonable way to weave that remark into this post, I do not see any claim that this is even remotely an attempt to write the full history of WebKit, and I notice that, for those who do not know what WebKit is, the first occurrence of the term in the blog post links to WebKit.org, which says: "WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE." I think that should be sufficient acknowledgement for anybody releasing code under the LGPL license.
- buster 15y agoI don't know what link you clicked, but it's an article that shows how much effort by which party was going into the development of Webkit. I acknowledge you that this is about the webkit code repository where it got forked, so that's the reason it starts with Apple. Nevertheless i'd have expected a footnote mentioning it. Why shouldn't that be possible? A remark below the graph, a footnote at the end, whatever.. But this discussion already is far more work and thought then my little remark in the beginning deserved...
