Hi, what about going a bit commercial? Many companies use a dual licence model: GPL + proprietary (e.g. the small Swedish company that made MySQL started that way).
Would it do any harm if the project offered an iOS port for $10? And used the income for the development of Apertium? Unfortunately, that would not fit into GSOC though. We would have to finance it some other way. GOTEO? http://goteo.org/ Or some other crowd funding? Most Ipad/Iphone users are the opposite of hackers: they are happy with the limitations of the system. An Apertium-app for Ipad must be accessible in the App Store to reach the audience.
