WebKit started as KDE’s KHTML/KJS and LLVM started as a research project at Univeristy of Illinois.

Apple took the code and extended it, they had little choice for the source code license.

They could have just not taken the code, though…

yeah, they're doing the world a favour by taking the code and conform to its licence, as opposed to... developing a new browser engine which is... easier?
