</span>Hi,<br>
<br>
The effective license is LGPLv2+ (which is more restrictive than the<br>
BSD license). Most individual files are licensed using the BSD license,<br>
but this is only useful for you if you want to copy code from one<br>
particular file to some other project.<br>
<br>
The Mac ports are set up so that the WebKit2 directory is supposed to<br>
be BSD-only, but we have many GTK-specific LGPLv2+ code in there. (I<br>
see a couple cross-platform LGPL files in there as well, which looks<br>
like a mistake.) The Mac port dynamically links WebKit2 to WebCore, so<br>
it's possible to have different (compatible) licenses for these<br>
projects on that port. (In WebKitGTK+ we static link WebKit2 to<br>
WebCore.)<br>
