Why not charge 14000� per year?

I don't think that's going to happen. I've got a quote from them for
GNAT Windows, Linux and GtkAda. Minimum cost is 28000� per year. When
I asked for version more in the range of Microsoft's offerings they
told me their support is better. When I answered I believe that but I
would be completely happy with the kind of support that GNAT GPL
receives, I've got no answer.

If you're not Boeing or Lockheed that's your problem.
