A relevant question. And still in my mind the GPL violation ranks more urgent 
and relevant.

The nano code includes the headers types.h and pwd.h for types like uid_t and 
gid_t and functions like getpwuid. These types and functions apply to unix-y 
file systems, they do not apply to NTFS. So the tricks to build the official 
nano.exe have to disable or replace the entire content of the two headers - 
which is not reflected in the source released.

Looks like a license infringement by the maintainer of a GNU project.
