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.
