Hello,

When I have started the "Ada for Automation" project, I have chosen what se=
emed to me the good choice for a license, the GNAT Modified GPL.

Since I am not a lawyer I am just looking at what others choose and follow =
the one I feel closer to me.

So, GtkAda is now under GPLV3 and FSF runtime exception and Gnoga has the s=
ame headers but with an additional paragraph that says :

--  As a special exception, if other files instantiate generics from this  =
 --
--  unit, or you link this unit with other files to produce an executable, =
 --
--  this  unit  does not  by itself cause  the resulting executable to be  =
 --
--  covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not     =
 --
--  however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file  might be =
 --
--  covered by the  GNU Public License.                                    =
 --

This paragraph was in GNAT Modified GPL headers but is not there in Github =
GtkAda.

Is it intentionally or what ?

In addition, since I'm not good at bash, perl or python and sed cannot do t=
he job easily as it seems, does anyone have some magic script to change the=
 headers through all the project when I am done with the license choice ?

Thanks for your kind support.

Best Regards,
St=E9phane
