I can run GCC on Windows, another proprietary OS....

  Running software is different than distributing it, and this is from a QNX engineer so I'm assuming this is being distributed by QNX.

    And what license problem do you see with distributing it?

      I don't know, I have trouble understanding the implications of the nuances of the GPL. This doesn't sound any different to me from the various violations of the GPL that were pursued by the SFLC on behalf of the busybox creators, but maybe it is different in some way that I'm not seeing.

        It would be an issue if they didn't share the source code with him or other users of the software (assuming there are modifications to it, but that's very likely the case). From the blog post I see no reason to believe they wouldn't provide it (especially in this case, where the "user" is one of their own developers)
