Is Google your source for legal information?

It will be helpful if you refer your readers to references
that they can check. Given the sentence quoted above, and
the fact that you equate a will to licensing plus negotiable business
contracts between specific parties, I think readers will be
considering your claims with some doubt.

Do you have an AdaCore contract? Many here who have had the
pleasure of working with an AdaCore supported edition have
stated that even the Pro edition of GNAT is GPLed. IIRC, one
(Mac?) edition has actually become the starting point for a
publicly available edition of GNAT (5.01w?). It has carried
the GPL notice (that doesn't replace a contract, but anyway).
