If you statically link to GPL code, like the way you do with Monster (if I understood correctly, the script bytecode is appended to the engine binary), then you must provide the source code for the entire executable, which includes your scripts. This means that, unless you're able to completely separate the output of the "compiler" to a distinct file, all games created and distributed by Monster must be open-source as per the GPL license.
