webkit is copyright <list of names of years>
License:
the webkit libraries is a mix of the following licenses:
license1-blurb
license2-blurb
license3-blurb
license4-blurb
license5-blurb(lgplv2.1) (see /usr/share/common-licenses/lgplv2.1 for
full text)
webkit libraries is effectively lgplv2.1
And insert the list of names and the license texts and the lgpl header
and be done with it. A couple of times a year, update the the list of
names and years.
