Why do people keep pretending that AdaCore's removal of the GMGPL
license exception from their runtime isn't a really big change for the
Ada community?  It really does make a difference to a lot of individual

programmers (and thus to Ada).  Programmers who cannot afford to pay
AdaCore (or who choose not to) now must rely on significantly out of
date versions of compilers and tools in order to "make money" on a
program they wrote.

Exactly! I believe this will produce a code fork in the FSF tree and
people like me will continue to use that version of GNAT, unless
another free compiler becomes available.

Thanks,
Luke.
