May be I'm not very clear about my point, but I'll try to be some more :
Ada is one of my current tools.
I'm an Ada user and an Ada compiler vendor customer.

I don't have to define, and don't care about defining, the business model of
Ada solution providers.
My problem is to know if Ada will still be the right tool for my purpose in
a few years from now.
Or if I have to be prepared to drop this specific tool.

If I need a TV set, and if one TV set vendor doesn't have a product which
satisfies me,
I'm not going to teach him which business model he should adopt.
I'm simply going to chose another vendor.
