GPL is contaminating. I prefer to write my software without trying to 
control what its users will do with it. For this, the libraries with 
which the final software code is linked must be in LGPL, and not GPL.

I am not asking that Gambas or its IDE be licensed under LGPL.

I'm asking if the library/component license is GPL and if that's 
deliberate. A clarification at least.
