I don't see any heresy there. If you think that's a viable
economic model, why don't you put your money where your
mouth is and give it a go? :-)

That's technically confused. What distinguishes JGNAT from
the regular version of GNAT is code that depends entirely
on the structure and details of the JVM.
A version of GNAT that generated .NET compatible pseudo-code would be
a completely new project (requiring
effort of the order of person years from people who knew
what they were doing). Yes, perhaps you could derive some
useful input, and even possibly *some* copied code from JGNAT, but in
no sense would this be a "version of JGNAT".
A version of GNAT generating code for .NET is certainly
a perfectly reasonable idea. So far however we have seen
zero interest/demand in such a product.
