Re: non military license for ada

["Stephane Richard" <stephane.richard@verizon.net>]

The GPL is detailed as far as source distribution and alterations is
concerned.  IF you want to make a commercial product or a millitary one,
it's the same thing...you can use 100% GPL or LGPL products (compilers,
tools, etc etc...) t crrfeate a commercial app and at that point, you
definitaly dont need to, nor are you required, to distribute the source with
your application.  The GPL is there especially for people wanting to create
an OpenSource application that is to be distributed under the GPL
licence....for all other projects, whether personal, professional,
millitary, religious, govermental in nature is not GPL material.  Therefore
you can choose what you want to do.
