I agree with this 100% but believe the problem is with the Free
Software Foundation, not AdaCore.
The situation where there are multiple licences, created by multiple
companies or organisations is an unstainable mess. What, I believe,
AdaCore have done is to say that they are not in the business of
creating the "free software" rules and that they will simply release
Gnat under what ever rules the FSF comes up with. I believe this is a
correct long term decision.
That said, the situation whereby that if you compile your code with a
FSF compiler that you must inturn release the code under their licence
is absurd. But it is up to the FSF to fix it, not AdaCore. It's not
hard to do, just change the licence rules.
