<div>It seems that I don't understand things
very well.<br>
<u>It is not the Gambas mailing list but the Gambas USERS mailing

Where is it written that these users should only develop free

Certainly not in the GPL license (read it again, it seems to me

To my knowledge, Gambas is a tool, a tool is made to do things,
free or not. AND in any case, I think that the only one whose
opinion may be relevant at this stage is Benoit, if he tells me he
disagrees with the principle of developing commercial software
with Gambas I would bow, but until he gives an opinion I remain on
my position.<br>
I thought that the Gambas community had evolved in the direction
of open-mindedness, it seems that this is not the case.</div></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The gambas community are trying to help you!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I'm the only one having a moan?
