The Apple runtime is still open source, under the APSL 2.0, which is a fiddly, copyleft license with stringent labelling requirements (you need to be clear about what comes from Apple and what's changed, include notices with binary distributions etc).

Of course, the Apple runtime doesn't support Linux. It does support Windows, although I don't know if it builds for Windows out of the box.

If I was actively working on Cocotron code, I'd definitely seek to target clang and the GNUstep runtime (libobjc2).
