I believe the piece of the puzzle that you are missing is that Rational BOUGHT
Verdix a few years ago. Thus Rational now sells VADS, Apex (and on some
platforms, Meridian) Ada compilers.
Sun, rather than make their own Ada compiler (like DEC with DECAda), sells a
VADS compiler repackaged as "SunAda".
