Benoît has created and made Gambas freely available. And, as others have noted, even he uses this tool to create applications 
for his clients. So, in my humble opinion, you should not let the haughtiness and negativity of one represent the attitude of 
the community as a whole. I personally would be glad to help anyone learn to use Gambas to create whatever they wish with it -- 
even if they make money on it. And why not? Not on bit does it lower my status in life to help someone else raise theirs.

So carry on, Olivier. Create something that solves peoples' problems or enhances their lives. And don't let anyone dissuade you. :-)
