 It is still the normal thing for code in C, C++
and many other languages, including Ada, compiled with GPL
compilers and only using the built-in capabilities of
the language and standard libraries, to distribute your
software under your own terms and conditions.
You just can't use the aptly named GNAT GPL Edition.
So what? Use the FSF Edition, or get the Pro Edition,
you have the freedom to do so.
