Hi,

These are not UI packages/sources. Browser eal (engine abstraction layer)
and maemo-browser-interface are respectively a layer for UI interoperability
between engines and an interfacing package for other apps to access/share
some browser stuff.

I even managed to compile them once (didn't run though). I would think
that having own browser UI that launches fullscreen for your needs would be
good enough solution for a kiosk mode project.

AFAIK the sources for the browser UI (not the engine) are public:
