Is there any similar organization to shepherd > licensing terms in Ada community (eg. for GMGPL)? Not quite sure what you mean by "shepherd" here. FSF is the corporation responsible for the wording of the GPL license, but all they do is to make this license available. ACT produced the wording for the GMGPL, and all we do is to make the licensing language available for anyone who wants to use it. The FSF has no responsibility if you use the GPL, and ACT has no responsibility if you use the GMGPL. It is up to you to determine, e.g. by consulting with an attorney, what licensing statement best meets your goals.
