Well note the distinction I made. For your own purposes and
own use, you can do anything you like. If you want to further
distribute a modified version, there are minimal restrictions,
namely you have to agree not to restrict this freedom for
others. In other words, the only restriction is that you
have to agree to maintain the lack of restrictions :-)

Yes, you may find this annoying if for example, your plan
is to make a proprietary version of GNAT that will be sold
without sources and with a highly restrictive microsoft
type license. The copyright holders of GNAT will not permit
you to do this!
