Those aren't projects developed by EA. They are just source releases of the LGPL components used in EA games.

These are just the GPL releases, but they contain bits of code from EA if you start digging. IIRC the EAWebKit release contains a big chunk of EASTL. EASTL is EA's implementation of the C++ STL that was for a long time considered so great as to be a competitive advantage.

If anyone is interested in the EASTL here's the source code

https://github.com/paulhodge/EASTL

Apparently works out of the box with G++/GCC, some modifications were made to get it working Clang/LLVM
