[Gambas-user] Licensing programs created with GAMBAS

No, you can give your program the licence you want, provided that you respect 
the licence of Gambas itself (GPLv2+) and all the libraries you are using.

Gambas does not force any licence to the programs it runs, but some libraries 
like Qt3 may. Outside of Qt3 and Firebird component, nothing is a problem I 
think.
