I think that's not the only necessity to bring GNUnet to the masses. Having to upload a self-built binary to an iDevice from a Mac (or even do it the uber-geeky libre way) is not going to cut it - GNUnet would have to be available on the Appstore. But that's not possible due to licensing conflicts. The technical challenge of threads vs. processes is the smallest issue here. > Sounds painful. iOS users should jailbreak their devices (i.e. by > installing a libre OS). Without that, they don't get reasonable security > or privacy or liberty. I have yet to see how any libre OS is more secure than iOS, especially if jailbreaking is involved. Privacy (through running GNUnet at all) and Liberty (to run GNUnet on whatever device) are equally being taken away by adoption of the GPL for GNUnet as through Apple's restrictions disallowing GPL'ed software on the Appstore. For me as a user, true Liberty is the liberty to voluntarily compromise the same. As I don't have much resources to even contribute to a truly liberal clone of GNUnet, my hopes are on better Tor integration with iOS 9 - and GNUnet concepts being implemented on this platform for more general availability.
