I am curious. I certainly see that you would not download
the public version of GNAT, and we don't recommend that anyone
do this for any mission critical project, let alone one that
is in a secure network environment, since indeed downloading
from public sites is a risk, you have no way of knowing what
is there for sure.
However, I fail to see why any distinction should be drawn
between DEC Ada, a commercial product of Compaq, and GNAT
Professional, a commercial product of Ada Core Technologies.
Indeed the fact that you can actually see what is in the sources
of GNAT should give you *more* confidence that there is nothing
potentially damaging.
