WebKit did get released after the KDE developers attacked Apple for violating the license of KHTML.

Violating it? When did they ever do that, or get attacked for it?

They got complaints for just having code-dumps (or WebCore/JavaScriptCore) alongside releases, which made it hard to have any sort of individual patches. They were still in no way obliged to move to developing it in public, nor were they obliged to release WebKit.
