Well, if you want to get down to this silly level of technicalities,
then why not go all the way and object that there are *no* totally free
solutions, since everyone (excepting theives) has to purchase their
hardware? And of course it costs money to operate the phone line you
would use to download all that "free" software. And let's not forget
about the electricity! Even if you are using a system at a school or
library, you probably a paying taxes to partially support the operation
of that equipment. So the only totally "free" solution would be to break
into a neighbor's house and use their Ada compiler while they are
sleeping. (Assuming you don't get caught, and forced to "pay for your
crime").
I think the question was: given that you have you have purchased your
machine through a reputable outlet which of course preinstalled an OS
for you, is there any Ada solution for the Mac that requires no further
product purchases (which must be first justified to managers, parents,
or spouses)? This is the case for Windows PC's, Linux PC's, SunOS
machines, etc.
