IIUC if you're doing a website it doesn't matter which GNAT you're using, you're fine. (As this is equivalent to providing a service, not actually selling the software.) -- But check w/ a lawyer (or someone who KNOWS the licensing) before using AdaCore's GPL GNAT.

FSF GNAT -- https://www.gnu.org/software/gnat/
ACT GNAT -- http://libre.adacore.com/download/
