Does it? The GPL is viral and booch, charles, AdaCL - all currently GMGPL would need to to relicensed to GPL now to be used with with GNAT/GPL. AdaCL at least produced licence-warnings when compiled with GNAT/GPL. While licence warning are not legal the at least shows how AdaCore sees things. And this would mean that those libs become unavailable to closed source users. Martin PS: Just in case you have not seen any warnings so far: all package specifications copied from the RM come with licence "unrestricted" and they are free in all respects. Only when you use a packaged not mentioned inside the RM the warning pops up. -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net Ada programming at: http://ada.krischik.com
