I have a license for the compiler, so I can distribute the executable. That means I can share it with anyone I want. That's fairly standard for compilers. Perlapp isn't really a compiler though. It bundles the Perl compiler and the libraries used inside the exe-package and unpacks it all before running. That's why you'll notice that the start up time is slower because of the unpacking. I know the Logitech guys use perlapp for packaging SqueezeCenter, so they could have packed it for you too. Even better, they could also make an OS-X executable.
