Lots of demo software can be useful in some situations, but that doesn't make it something good for Ada advocacy (or even Free software advocacy in a case of unencumbered run times).

Example, GPL would work for software I write for my medical clinics, however if I decided to sell or give away binaries of software I wrote for my clinics then likely it would not work. However.. If I decide to integrate the software I write with any of the other software, drivers or equipment in my office  I _will_ be in violation of the GPL even if I don't distribute the binaries. If they are not "GPL" compatible.
