- Advocate more use of Ada, which should result in more AdaCore customers.
- Report bugs and offer up patches. (Last week I submitted a patch to a GNATCOLL JSON package, which was accepted.)
- When your company becomes successful enough to afford paid support, do it and get the leading edge releases and company expertise on how to make your product better/faster/stronger.

AdaCore has assigned GNAT's copyright to the FSF, so the code would be publicly accessible to individuals, the remnants of AdaCore, and anyone else who would like to provide compiler support.
