Exactly. And I had the impression that some people here are living
exactly under that impression (that they have now to relicense) and
asking about that in the DTRAQ thread was how the licensing discussion
started there. 

So apart from the questions on the actual status of the sources
distributed by AdaCore or the stance of AdaCore on all that (which
everyone should ask AdaCore about, not rely on rumors here :-)), this
separate question has been clarified:

  GMGPL source doesn't need to be relicensed to GPL to be used with
  Gnat GPL or with other GPL libraries.

IANAL, but that seems to become the agreement here. Any objections?
