Ok, thanks...

But...
I don't know beforehand which version of Gambas end-users are going to 
run my project with.
So I don't know which version of libraries that user has on it's linux box.
I can determine this for my own setup, but not for anyone else.

I guess releasing it under GPL v3 is ok.

Kind regards,
