Short answer, No
you know the gambas executable is just an archive of the entire source
folder yes?

you may be heading towards an answer to your original question that was..
Why has nobody used gb.net to make a web server?

possibly because there is apache and the like that are full of security
features.

And besides,,  who is to trust you ?
If you close your source so nobody can read it, nobody will use it.
who's to say you don't have malicious code in there?

Do you see?
