I have been looking for alternatives and it seems this one would be
acceptable even for Enterprise customers:

https://github.com/ksksue/FTDriver

Apache 2.0 license, supports FTDI (most common chip, proprietary protocol)
and CDC-ACM (most common alternative to FTDI, standard). No external
dependency. Lighweight (1 file, ~1,000 lines of code).

Problem: it's unmaintained, since author moved to another library:

https://github.com/ksksue/PhysicaloidLibrary

Physicaloid does a lot more stuff, which we probably don't need.

My proposal: adopt FTDriver, include it as part of Qt and implement Qt
Serial Port on Android.
