That is incorrect; KHTML is licensed under the LGPL, so "closing it up" would be copyright violation. WebCore is licensed under the union of the LGPL and a BSD-like license, not any version of the APSL.

As further proof of the openness of WebCore, there are at least two projects (this one and this one) which are forks of WebCore.
