Nope you have to distribute your source code in such a case. Of course don't forget the famous scare tactic phrase from AdaCore's site r= egarding GNAT: "Most important you should ascertain the license and IPR (In= tellectual Property Rights) guarantees from its provider." The FSF GNAT is owned by the FSF and any IPR assigned to them, GNAT GPL is = an AdaCore product and in theory they can make IPR claims as well, so unles= s you purchase their support contracts and get a guarantee of IPR release f= rom them I would not use any AdaCore product even GNAT GPL. If you want to use GNAT you should stick to FSF GNAT versions only for prod= uction systems - http://getadanow.com David Botton
