Hi,

On the Gambas website and in its code repository I only find
references
to the GPL 2.0+ license for Gambas source code and CC-BY-SA 3.0 for
wiki
pages.

Is it possible to write non-GPL software with Gambas such as ISC,
CeCILL-B?

I think the question arises for component code and other code
implicitly
included in a Gambas project.

if you read here (*), you see all the GPL compatible licenses.
I'm not a lawyer, but I don't understand why you want to use a license
that guarantees you less than the one used by Gambas.

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.


As far as I know GPL is for projects and LGPL is for libraries

In summary yes, and Gambas does not show this distinction in the
licensing information. Hence my question. Is this intentional or
accidental?


But Gambas is a project, not a library :-\

Gianluigi
