AFAIK, yes, except if you indirectly use some libraries like Qt that 
prohibits that (but maybe it changed since the last time I checked).

Gambas is an interpreter, and your Gambas program is not a compiled 
program, but a data file run by the Gambas interpreter.

So the Gambas GPL license does not apply to your program. It applies to 
code written inside the interpreter or its components.

It applies to code that you borrow from the Gambas sources in your own 
code. But not for the Gambas code that you execute at runtime.

But I am not a lawyer...
