If it's not used, I'd remove it. I'm confused about its status. If it's used and no-one explains why APSL is LGPL-compatible, I'd ask BOINC whether there was some permission to rerelease the APSL parts under LGPL that we've not been told about.

APSL-1.1 is not a free software licence. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/historical-apsl.html but see below for why it doesn't matter. > You may not use this file except in compliance with the > * License. This seems to contradict use under LGPL. Section 7 of http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/1.1.txt allows us to pick a later version, so we can use it under the free software APSL 2.0. However, APSL 2.0 is GPL-incompatible, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/apsl.html but I'm not sure whether it's LGPL-compatible. Anyone got time to check, please?
