I don't follow; both of those are available in free versions, and can be
used for commercial software.
If you are asking for _support_, rather than just for the source code,
that is a different matter; support is expensive, and rightly so.
If you are asking for non-open-source commercial software, that is also
a different matter.
Can you be more precise about what your problem is?
What sort of software are you hoping to make money from, and why are
unable to use QtAda or GtkAda for that?
