Not that confusing: If you are capable enough to compile you own compiler
you get GMGPL as bonus.

And I can see the point: The release of GNAT 2005 GPL probably cost AdaCore
a lot of money. And they did not want to speed that money on thouse who are
neither OpenSource developers nor AdaCore customers.

And remember: As an OpenSource developer you only have to give the sources
to thouse you have given the Binaries and to no one else. And thats fair
enough.
