That's true for standard WebKit, and even the Mac OS X version, but not for iOS. For example, the latest iOS JavaScriptCore release (4.2, http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCore-621.1/ http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/JavaScriptCore/JavaSc...) has no Xcode files like the one you linked does. I haven't read the LGPL lately, but is that a violation? Do they have to provide enough information to build your own copy?

  Yes, it is. "For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library."

    I think that's just for the originally gpl licensed build files. If said files weren't under that license, you can't be compelled to license them that way if you write them yourself.

  It has Makefiles. Assuming those build a binary, why would you think they are hiding Xcode project files?

    They don't. Well, they might, but not an iOS binary. There's Makefiles for Android and (I believe) the desktop, but nothing setup for use with the iPhone SDK.
