started as a personal challenge, ABYSS project tries to avoid the mistakes found in the design of other servers. ABYSS characteristics/features are:

• Built from scratch
• Modular
• Customizable: you can build a version which includes only the features you need.
• Highly portable: it is written in ANSI C.
• Low memory use.
• Low system load.
• Tiny: on Linux, the executable size is about 35kB.
• Fast: On stable developement releases, it is 70% as fast as Apache. When using threads, this rate is 130%.

ABYSS Web Server is licensed under a modified BSD type license

Well, not really. That's only a beta ano 2k. There is a free (closed source) version
