Where I used to work there was a boxed copy of GNAT with a couple of
manuals. As far as I was aware, this was provided to the company as
part of a support contract. All I'm suggesting is making this, or
perhaps a cut-down version of this, available to hobbyists at a
suitable price. Is that so difficult? Ultimately you seem to have the
product, or something very similar, that can be shipped in the format
I'm suggesting, it's just a matter of making it available!
