I wondered that as well. Anyone who wants to run it without formally accepting the GPL can run it via OS X or Linux. It struck me that perhaps OS X and Linux users are more familiar with the GPL and their obligations than Windows users. On the other hand, any Windows user is less likely to be a modifier/distributor so they'd have no obligations under the GPL.
