The reason I think it would be necessary is that code contributed to WebKit
needs to be licensed under either LGPL or new BSD. If the license gives the
user the option to take it under the GPL or MPL, I would think that is
incompatible.

However there may have been some confusion here. Is this code merely being
bundled, and not actually being contributed to form part of WebKit? If that's
the case then of course there's no problem with keeping the original license.
