Being the principle author of that "incompatible version" (that's cute as implies CLAW had some sort of foot hold which it didnt't) the chief reason was the incompatible license CLAW had.
BTW Windex proceeded my efforts and had a license that was compatible but it would have been too difficult to add the event model I needed to support ActiveX and the Delphi style of programming (that model is preserved in GNOGA).
CLAW is a great example of a fantastic product that had the right license been in place would have been extended and become the standard for Windows and Ada that GWindows became. Much the story of Ada as a whole had the licensing not been played with the community would have grown instead of shrink.
