GNAT would be a "perfect" example only if AdaCore were still respecting
the wishes of the people who put up the money (the DOD), who insisted
on the GMGPL for the runtime libraries of the GNAT compiler.
As it is, AdaCore has made a perfectly legal "move", but one which I
think disrespects the intentions of the origins of GNAT, and certainly
the intentions of the "venture capitalists" who gave them their start.
