Not to start a lot of chaos over licensing, but when I installed GNAT
3.14p the other day, I didn't see any exception to GPL in the license
that came up as part of the install procedure (under Win NT). Is it
there? I do see the exception in the source code for library units,
however.  Not a lawyer, IDK which applies, and I doubt that it matters 
for me. I wonder if there is any change in ACT's licensing with this 
release, or if the exception will still come with GNAT even when GNAT 
is more closely integrated with the rest of gcc.  Can anyone explain, 
please?

TIA.
