Thanks for pointing this, but I did NOT know this. Actually I wanted to
use same thing as GNAT, that is why I cut/past the generic header from
one of GNAT source files, and simply used GETOPT where it said GNAT !
(see below). So I am now confused.
I'll be happy to modify the header and repost it if I know what I
need to write to make it use the same as GNAT, and it will be great
if you can use the package aspart of GNAT (allready got email from
few who found it usefull).

I am sure that nabassi intends this, but just to point this
out to others, these units are under the GPL, this means
that they CAN NOT be used in other than GPL'ed programs.
This is quite unlike the situation with GNAT libraries
which use a modified GPL permitting their use in any
kinds of program. It also means of course that we cannot
distribute getopt.ads/adb as part of the GNAT library,
which otherwise might be nice to do!
I certainly don't intend this as criticism in the least.
Every author has the absolute right to decide how to
license their copyrighted work, but it is perhaps useful
that people are very aware of the important distinction
here. I often find people for instance who are not aware
that cygwin32 is distributed with similar limitations, and
just assume they can use it in their proprietary programs.

The header of GNAT library module (such as S P I T B O L) you posted and

the same ! and it is the same header I used (which I copied from one
of GNAT files.
I still can;t find a header anywhere in GNAT sources that says "modified"
GPL on it. or different than what I used on my file. according to the
GNAT README, it seems the GNAT RUN-TIME is under this modified GPL. but
when I look at a header of one such file such as A D A . T A G S, (run-time
component) it is the same as all the others. so where is this header hiding?
on http://www.gnat.com, I see this:
-------------------------
Q: But What About the Runtime?
The runtime units that are included in your GNAT program, including
all the units in the standard library, and those that are
implicitly included for such functions as tasking, are distributed
under a modified version of the GPL which makes sure that
you can WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS distribute executables built by GNAT
in any manner you like, with whatever license restrictions you choose.
This modified GPL does not impose any obligations for distribution or
disclosure of sources. This means that you can use GNAT freely to
generate classified, proprietary, or otherwise restricted applications.
And of course
there is no question of a runtime license fee, since you can copy the runtime
units freely.
-------------------------
But where is this header that says it is using a modified GPL so I can
cut/paste it?
thanks :)

No. The first part was the same, but the header Pascal posted had an
*exception* at the end. That's the important part. That part allows users to
compile against those packages without the resultant executable being GPL.
The extra text at the end which you missed is the following (cut from the file
header in GNAT/lib/gcc-lib/pentium-mingw32msv/2.8.1/adainclude/g-spitbo.ads):
-- --
-- As a special exception, if other files instantiate generics from this --
-- unit, or you link this unit with other files to produce an executable, --
-- this unit does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be --
-- covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not --
-- however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be --
-- covered by the GNU Public License. --
-- --
Just add this paragraph to the end of your GPL notice in the file headers and
you'll be ok.
If you copy a file header from the source code for the compiler itself, rather
than one of the packages inteded for a *user* of the compiler, I would expect
you to not see this paragraph. That helps prevent anyone from building a
prorietary compiler on the free work done by others.
T.E.D.

oh, OK :) I would never have guessed. (All this legal mumble jumble is
foreign to me, I just a programmer.) But I'll change my getopt package and
add the above stuff to its header.

You copied one of the compiler files that is indeed quite
deliberately distributed under the GPL, and CANNOT be
incorporated into proprietary software. GNAT and its tools
are generally licensed in this way.
You want to copy the header from the runtime files, which
is the GNAT modified GPL (how about calling it GGPL):

This is quite wrong. Both these files use the modified GPL.
It is I suppose possible that you are looking at a public
copy of 3.11p that has been modified by someone, but I
doubt it. More likely you are just not looking carefully.
You will not find the word modified in the description.
The header is indeed modified, to include the exclusion
paragraph, but it does not include the word modified,
and no one ever said it did!

I've changed it. Now it uses the modified GPL.
Please see current getopt package at:
http://home.pacbell.net/nma123
(I also compield it with -gnatapg. )
Ok, I am off now to go to the Linux week expo here in San jose. it should

In Ada.Tags, as you wrote ;-) (for example)
The key point is this special paragraph:
-- As a special exception, if other files instantiate generics from this --
-- unit, or you link this unit with other files to produce an executable, --
-- this unit does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be --
-- covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not --
-- however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be --
-- covered by the GNU Public License. --
Note that this part is present only for GNAT *runtime* files, not GNAT
compiler files.

No. Look at the last paragraphe !
