Which port? The Gtk port is mostly all licenced LGPL 2.1 or later, meaning that you can have a closed source application using it (aka linked against it). But that also means that if you made changes to WebKitGtk, those changes must be published (ideally in a patch in bugzilla). Explicitly: it means that you can have a closed source browser using WebKitGtk, but any changes to WebKitGtk itself have to be published.
