[Gambas-user] Maybe a weird question

Hi!

AFAIK Real Software did not have a real Linux version i.e. a development
environment in the past. The only Linux related thing you could do was
compiling a Linux binary derived from your Windows sources (strange
enough if you ask me) that may or may not have ran on your Linux system
- having GTK+ 2.0 installed (what's QT?) was mandatory.

Right now they are offering to participate in a Linux Public Beta test -
that's all.

Anyway: Gambas is open source whereas REALBasic is not. If the Linux
version will be open source in the future is not clear and so is the
question of licensing and royalties.

Regards
