Ask a legal expert, no different than any other piece of code on any other OS. VxWorks run-time code is audited to be GPL and LGPL free, because that's what VxWorks customers want. As result you see a lot of BSD code ported to VxWorks, (personally I did the first pass at VirtIO among other things.)
Wind River also sells a Linux distribution which is mostly GPL; so its not corporate prejudice, it what the market wants.
What someone does with VxWorks is there own business, and it between you and your customers what code you use in your product. If you create an LGPL application for Windows, it has no implications Microsoft, just you and the people you give or sell the
application to.
