To be accurate, the FSF holds the copyrights on the basic
compiler technology, not on all components of the GNAT distribution.
In any case, why is this a "danger". This is
a country which subscribes to international treaties giving
authors copyright control over their work. Why should it
be "dangerous" for them to decide how to execute that
control. If people want to use the GPL, that's indeed
desirable from many points of view, but it is a long step
to declare the use of different licenses as dangerous!
