With careful consideration, you can build a Linux
version and distribute it without encumbering your
work.  Note that even if some of the libraries are
GPLed, there are some 'escape clauses' that allow
the use of (paraphrased) 'libraries that are distributed
as part of/along with the OS' without encumbering your
work.

Most of the Linux c-libraries are LGPLed (some are GPLed),
and that is even safer.

However, it is definitely your decision.

(I'd be using your LTSPICE under FreeBSD emulation of
Linux, but compatibility issues with that would be my
problem -- not yours :-)).
