Now that was exactly the point I was trying to make a couple of days ago. What effect does the license of the Gambas libraries and runtime interpreter have on our own programs that necessarily use them? All those online discussions surrounding the use of dynamically or statically linked libraries, runtimes, GPL vs. LGPL libraries, etc, are, frankly, legalese to me, which is a language I don't understand very well and gives me headaches...
