Emmanuel Briot is an employee of Ada Core Technologies, but will be doing this work with a GNU hat on, and of course all work will be assigned to the Free Software Foundation. Ada Core Technologies is happy to make this contribution of effort to the continued development of GNU software. With regard to recent discussions on this newsgroup, Richard Stallman's view is that it is proper to give precedence to GNAT in the development of this facility, since "GNU programs should generally give preference to other free software, and especially to other GNU software." The policy here will be to include all useful contributions, and to provide facilities that are generally useful. Certainly there will be no deliberate attempt to impede the use of EMACS with Ada compilers other than GNAT, no one suggests that would be reasonable, so we expect that many of the facilities of Ada mode in EMACS will continue to be usable by other compilers. However, in accordance with the direction requested by Richard Stallman, providing special functionality for use with compilers other than GNAT will not be a priority in our continued development effort. We will rejuvenate and maintain the EMACS Ada mode mailing list, and we will make an announcement here concerning that list in the near future. We suggest that further discussions of technical details for Ada mode can most fruitfully be held on that mailing list.
