There is no restriction on the use of the software on another architecture in
the license of the package.   The license is the basic feel free to do as
you wish with the product as long as the DEC copyright notice remains but
don't sell it without their permission.

We are only using it for educational purposes as the binding looks to be 
better Ada for people learning Ada from scratch.  The Intermetrics binding
looks a lot more like C than Ada.
