This conclusion is strange. The FSF makes GCC available, with
linking exceptions (GMGPL in the Ada case), and they have the
right to do so because of their presence when received,
and copyright assignments.
(Representatives of AdaCore have explained this at length on
comp.lang.ada.)

As a FSF GNAT user, you are just on your own, or on some
communications channel, if you use a GNAT without a support
from a company that offers GNAT support.

GMGPL GNAT is available from the FSF, for example.
The FSF also explains why they have linking exceptions
etc. go with some of their software,

> The following parts from libre.adacore.com FAQ proves my point!

Then your point is only about GNAT GPL edition from AdaCore.
There are more GNATs than this fine one.
