No. If I ever write F/OSS code I'm going to license it under a variant of the GPL with a few lines added to it that will prevent binary releases for proprietary operating systems. Something like "only binaries compiled with GCC may be distributed" would probably work, though that's probably overly strict.

I flatly oppose putting Free code on a proprietary system because the user is still denied his freedom on said system.
