AFAIK, Dev-C++ is distributed under the terms of the GNU license regardless
of the OS under which it is compiled.
 
Also (see point 1 of version 2 of GNU license)

  "... output of the Program is covered only if its contents constitute
  a work based on the Program ..."

So you may write your own program, develop it using Dev-C++ and distribute
it under the license which best suits your needs.

AFAIK, Mingw is a port of GNU gcc (and other tools) to Windows, so there is
no need of it on Linux, as one uses gcc (or the other tools) directly.
