Actually, AFAIUT (as far as I understand things, lol) and IANAL, I agree that using a GPLed IDE to make your programs does not automatically mean your own programs are GPL (unless, perhaps, there are some special stipulations made in the IDE license). However, your own programs do depend on the license of the included and runtime libraries (and probably even the gambas runtime interpreter/compiler, in this case). If those were LGPL, your own programs could be closed source, but if they are GPL, then your code automatically becomes GPL.

Just my 2 cents worth...
