Ludovic,

are you saying that if you do a fix for the GNAT GPL edition, you will
make your fix available under the GMGPL instead of the GPL? If you
make it GPL only, AdaCore will be unable to integrate it into its own
version as it would contaminate their customers code.

I don't say that there should not be community support, of course I
agree with you on the fact that it is needed, however it only makes
sense to patch GMGPL sources if we want not to have two completely
divergent versions (AdaCore and community).
