Jeffrey,

Exactly. We used to be sad because there was no Ada compiler "free" or
almost "free" (as in free beer) not so long ago. Today we have:

AdaCore GNAT Pro
AdaCore GNAT GAP
AdaCore GNAT GPL
GNAT FSF
RR Software / Janus-Ada
Aonix / ObjectAda

All come with different licenses. Choose the one you like. I really
don't see the problem.

Also as this thread is a bit mixed up with the GNAT/Debian case.
Remember that no compiler is currently supporting 100% of Ada 2005. So
for all vendors there is still lot of work to do for Ada 2005 support. I
let Ludovic make the best choice for this paltform. Ludovic, thank you
for all the work you do on well supporting Ada on Debian.

Pascal.
