Right, support for DOS/Windows batch files is indeed borderline in
this respect. I considered it acceptable on the basis that the GPL
accepts linking with proprietary libraries as long as they are "part of
the basic OS" and I think cmd.exe also fits this description of "the
basic OS". So in this sense, it does not encourage installation of
non-Free software (you're unlikely to install Windows just in order to
run a batch file).
That same argument wouldn't work for TCC.
Stefan "who happened to «run» his very first .bat file recently
(did by hand, for lack of a .bat interpreter; that was
to get root access on an Android device ;-)"
