Hi It's no double licensing, you have to comply to both licences when you use WebKit. I know that I saw other licences in some of the source code files, but I guess they are compatible with the LGPL and BSD licences.
What I'm not sure about: Can I embed a private copy of the Mac OS X WebKit frameworks (WebKit.framework, WebCore.framework, JavaScriptCore.framework, JavaScriptCore.framework) in a software licensed by the MPL? The MPL isn't compatible with the GPL, but I'm not sure about the compatibility with LGPL. And I'm just embedding the self compiled OS X framework bundles in my applications bundle, I'm not making modifications in the WebKit code and I'm using the code through its API interface.
