WPEWebKit repo on GitHub contains code relying on things that weren't
open source until not so long ago so we are in the process of
upstreaming it to the SVN trunk while we rework some things.

It would if you make the WPEFramework work in your arch, you have the
proper access to its DRM plugins, the privative DRM code, and get a
license. It's possible but not out of the box.

Best regards.
