AFAIK a (currently hypothetical) iOS port would presumably not be able
to use neon due to its LGPL license and Apple App Store's copyleft
licensing censorship regime, that's the main reason why the Serf module
and its dependencies (APR/APR-util) still exist.
not that hypothetical at all, I am currently working on having LibreOfficeKit useable on iOS. the
build system is giving me enough trouble (getting everything to link static) and now I have to
worry about licenses as well.
APR is a low-level OS abstraction library, and we already have the
internal "sal" library for the same purpose, which is part of our public
ABI so we can't get rid of it anyway; also with C++11's standard library
additions a lot of this stuff is obsolete anyway.
Sounds like a good GSoC project APR -> SAL, SAL -> C++11 (where possible)
