You miss the point entirely, the issue is not whom you distribute to,
it is the conditions under which you distribute (that's what Free
Software is about, the manner of distribution). And proprietary
software is software that is distributed in some other manner. And
perhaps because of this misunderstanding, you are completely wrong,
this definition definitely does not apply to ACT, the GNAT system
and related tools distributed by ACT are most certainly Free Software
in this sense.
Is the copyright on your software really held jointly by the US
Government and a private company? I doubt it, that would be very
unusual, I think you are talking about data rights, not copyright
here.
