errr WebKit is not a Google engine - it has been open sourced out of  
Apple, having come out of KHTML/KJS.

Probably a typo, It means Google Web Toolkit,
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ (which is where the words Google
webkit links to), licensed under Apache License 2.0, third party code
has other licenses, see http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/terms.html

Do not confuse with WebKit http://webkit.org/
