In this case, because Tetrafile (of which I'm the author) is 
released under the GPL. Which means that if you provide a binary

that platform.

That doesn't seem to make much sense. It's perfectly possible to write
closed-source apps for Linux. What you can't do is take someone else's
GPL-ed code and use it as if you owned it.
