Only the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) will virus websites and s= ervices. So until someone modifies the licenses on the runtime of GPL GNAT'= s runtimes to be AGPL, you can use GPL GNAT with GNOGA with no issues. Keep in mind there are truly free versions of gnat (see http://getadanow.c= om )that do not have GPL virused runtimes (sadly the FSF made it possible = for the GPL to be abused that way and the original MGPL licenses thrown out= ). > Would black duck come along and demand my code? No. You could even sell or give others your product etc. with the GPL versi= on, however anyone having access to your executable has the right to the co= de, that doesn't apply to websites unless they are virused with AGPL. > IE can the site I build with gonga on gnat be MINE? It is yours regardless. The only question is what rights you have to give o= thers if they have access to what is yours. Example, most of Gnoga is "mine= " with my copyright and I own it (although not all as others contribute and= maintain it as well), however everyone has the right to use and include GN= OGA in anything they do even closed source projects.
