WebKit is free so you can bundle the library if you want. Or not.

What is the point in that now? It is going to be a similar size as Chromium. You might as well just use Electron.

As a matter of fact, Chromium's/Chrome's engine Blink was forked off from WebKit back in 2013. Current WebKit is Apple's not-quite-as-well-updated version of the engine in old Chrome.
