Reading from the "Free Software Definition" ( http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html ): * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. That put aside, you are not obliged to take an extra effort to make your software portable to Windows. But if you want it to be free, you need to allow other people to port it there if they desire to.
