As listed in http://code.google.com/chromium/terms.html#3rdparty , there're three different licenses of webkit in chrome: BSD <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php>/LGPL 2/LGPL 2.1<http://opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.php>
Why?
For the same reason the Mozilla code lists three licenses: because the code is tri-licensed. It is offered simultaneously under three different licenses.
Technically, that is not true. While (most of) Mozilla code is effectively tri-licensed, i.e. released under the terms of the three licences, WebKit code is partly licensed under each one, i.e. parts are under 2-clause BSD, parts under 3-clause BSD, and parts under LGPL 2 or 2.1. Mike
