Embedded FreeBasic in another langage ?

[panoramic]

May I distribute for free, a software like an IDE with embedded FreeBasic inside it ?
Let me explain.
Taking as example Lazarus having embedded FreePascal, I would like to build a high level language with graphic objects, using FreeBasic. I develop a Basic dialect interpretor since 2005 (http://panoramic-language.pagesperso-or ... index.html) and I would like to give a new step to my language using FreeBasic as "hidden" compiler.
I know that FreePascal and FreeBasic are licensed GPL, but nobody developped a new language based upon FreeBasic.
Is is allowed ?

I have seen at least 2 existing solutions using Freebasic

Oxygenbasic http://www.oxygenbasic.org/

Thinbasic http://www.thinbasic.com/

Is "embedded" packaged or linked in?

I like this idea a lot!

To answer your question, yes. You can do whatever the heck you want with it (binaries and/or source code and/or anything based on the source code) as long as you package it with a copy of the liscences that FB uses:
