As several people have pointed out, Craig is referring to the first
(1986) edition of "Ada as a Second Language". The second (1996) edition
does not have a trademark symbol next to the word Ada and no reference is
made in the text to a trademark. (In fact, I am not even sure the
trademark symbol appears on the cover of later printings of the first
edition.)
(Similarly, Bob Mathis's license plate no longer reads "ADA-TM".)
At the time the first edition of "Ada as a Second Language" went to
press, the Ada Joint Program Office truly believed that the trademark had
the force of law, and they fully intended to use the trademark to prevent
the proliferation of divergent dialects all called Ada. They abandoned
the trademark shortly afterward upon being advised that it was
unenforceable.
