Otherwise it would be a problem, as you've observed. Thanks! Eric Thomas Fors LLC has licensed the code from me under non-GPL terms, so his applications are not required to be Open Source.

According to the author, he ported your code to the iPhone, and he is now selling each *c app for around $19.99. What confuses me is though he has released multiple version to the AppStore, he has not updated his public source repositories (on Google code hosting) since Feb 2008, and the application very definitely links to non-free libraries (it is required to build for the AppStore). Both the lack of source code and the linking against non-free libraries sound like a violation of your GPL license...
