In GNU, we don't write software for Apple devices that put the users into a jail. I think iOS devices are in this category; AppleTV and AppleWatch probably as well. The GPLv3 has provisions to legally disallow some of the GNU code on such devices. The fact that we distribute parts of gnulib under other licenses (such as LGPLv2+) does not mean that we endorse such practices by Apple. Compared to this, the fact that iOS does not have a file system in the sense of POSIX - and therefore makes large parts of gnulib inapplicable - is only a "minor" technical issue. Bruno
