WebKit being open source doesn't really mean it only depends on open
source libraries. The licences it is under (BSD/LGPL) allow linking with
closed, proprietary software. As Julian noted, though, you should be
able to build a version of WebKit for windows using Cairo and Curl
instead of those dlls you mentioned. You will then be able to
redistribute it with no problems.

See you,
