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).
