I personally believe that the more resources there are available for Ada at no cost and with easy access, the more it promotes Ada use. People are at times naturally lazy and cheap. If it starts sounding like work or costing them $$$, they're more apt to just continue on with what they have and not explore new things. To the extent that Ada advocates make owning & using Ada easy & cheap, it is going to encourage more usage. (Witness Unix and C catching on because ATT made it available at nearly no cost to universities...)
