Well, if you want proprietary software you have to pay... You need to buy a QT Licence or GTK, and any other lib that you use. If the software will be OpenSource you won't have any problem. But, as I told you if you need a proprietary one, you need to buy several things, and of course give some money to Benoit :-)

You can release projects written in Gambas with any license, even a 
proprietary one; it's the libraries that you link against (using Gambas 
components) that may complicate things for you.  For example, as of last 
fall, Qt was GPLv2-only (or QPL, but that's not really compatible with much 
of anything.)  

Recent versions appear to be compatible with both v2 and v3, but I'd check the 
status of any libraries you're linking against before distributing your 
GPLv3-licensed program.
