no worries – just the danger of hiding your own threads!

We'd love to, but the licensing is pretty clear on that: can't
distribute compiled code that links against GNU Radio if you're closed
source.

You mean the osmocom project; they are cool folks that do way more than
just gr-osmosdr; from experimentation hardware over software
implementations of fully standards-compliant base stations to cellular
backbone infrastructure. BBS / modem servers and much more! Check out
their projects!
https://osmocom.org/projects/

I think you specifically might enjoy their work on Thuraja 
http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2011/28c3-4688-en-introducing_osmo_gmr.html

I'd say, osmocom is in the business of making as much as possible of
the modern communication stack free to use and inspect.

There's a personal overlap between GNU Radio contributors and osmocom
contributors! Also, I respect hell out of them and enjoy hanging around
with 'em, so there's that.

Best regards,
