There’s some specific policy about this that’s displayed in bugs.webkit.org when you attach a patch for review:
> Hello and thank you for contributing a patch. Here is our licensing policy > and terms for contributing code to the WebKit project. > > • If you are sending in a patch to existing WebKit code, you agree by > clicking below that your changes are licensed under the existing license > terms of the file you are modifying (i.e., BSD license or GNU Lesser General > Public License v.2.1, LGPL v. 2.1). Please also add your copyright (name and > year) to the relevant files for changes that are more than 10 lines of code. > • If you are sending in a new file for inclusion in WebKit (no code > copied from another source), the preferred license is BSD, but LGPL 2.1 is an > option as well. Please include your copyright (name and year) and license > preference (BSD or LGPL 2.1). By clicking below you agree that your file is > licensed under either the BSD license or LGPL 2.1, as indicated in your file. > • If you aren't the author of the patch, you agree to include the > original copyright notices and licensing terms with it, to the extent that > they exist. If there wasn't a copyright notice or license, please make a note > of it. Generally we can only take in patches that are BSD- or LGPL-licensed > in order to maintain license compatibility within the project. Note that it’s specifically LGPL 2.1. Other versions of LGPL are likely to be unacceptable. -- Darin _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
