Great! So let's not omit credit to KHTML whenever we mention Apple's generosity with WebKit. That was the distortion, perhaps unwitting, I was referring to. On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 12:41 AM, Glenn Sequeira <gsequeira@gmail.com>wrote:

WebKit is a fork of the KHTML rendering engine (created by the fine folks of KDE). Under Apple's direction, the fork has since significantly diverged from KHTML that merges are impossible or not desirable. The KHTML group are the unsung heroes of Safari and Chromium/Chrome. It goes to show that you can always successfully market a distorted version of history.
This is clearly stated on the landing page at Webkit.org:
"WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE. This website is also the home of S60's S60 WebKit development."
I see no distortion of any facts here.
