[Gambas-user] How to create a plugin system for your Gambas project

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Benoit chose GPL, so you own the programs you write with Gambas. Sell them,
publish, do whatever you please.
Even Benoit couldn't stop you (why would he care!? I think Benoit himself
writes closed code with Gambas), because of the license.
