As I suggested in an earlier post, I think the best idea for people 
who wish to develop proprietary Qt software with Gambas is to ask 
Trolltech specifically about Gambas programs.  You know Benoit and 
the rest of us not going to sue you for putting out proprietary 
Gambas apps, so Trolltech are the ones you really need to talk to.

I would also suggest that anyone who is serious enough about their 
"intellectual property" to want to release proprietary software 
should already have a lawyer available to them to deal with issues 
like this.  You have to spend money to make money.  However, also 
realize that my company has been in business for 2 and a half years 
now, we have a lawyer, and we still don't develop proprietary 
software except when a client specifically and adamantly requires it.  
The GPL is quite business-friendly, it's just not friendly to the 
likes of Microsoft and Adobe ;)
