In case you haven't aready, read the Debian Policy for Ada; it explains
"all there is to know about Debian and Ada" including these licensing
issues. By the way, ASIS is pure GPL only and has always been. The
reason is also explained in that document.

(I've just published the Sixth Edition mentioning the release of GNAT
GPL 2012.)
