Hi Bastien,

That's awesome! I would be really excited if KHTML was available to 
GNOME users too. You should be able to use most of the collection 
classes as-is, and the GUI-related classes should provide a good model 
for porting. I think the hardest part will be coming up with a 
Gtk+-style wrapper API for the whole thing.

Our license is BSD *without* advertising clause. It should be 
compatible with the LGPL and the GPL. (This is not legal advice, but 
I'm pretty sure it's true).
