Subject: What exactly is the licensing situation with Gnat?
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 01:30:13 -0800
Date: 2014-11-10T01:30:13-08:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DA%7w.753721$Y4.288171@fx24.iad> (raw)

So I am relatively new to Ada and I never really looked much into all 
the Open Source license models that are out there, so I don't know much 
about the differences. I'm trying to understand the particular situation 
that Adacore's Gnat package has.

Can someone please tell me if I am wrong here:

A) The compiler is basically GPL meaning anybody can copy it.
B) The Ada and Gnat libraries that come with it are also GPL so if you 
use them to write a program and give that program away you must also 
give away the source code.
C) If you buy the Pro version your receive the runtime libraries with a 
different license that allows you to sell a program written with them 
without giving out the code.

D) Here I am not sure: If you write a program that does not use the Ada 
and Gnat libraries, then you are not obliged to give away the source 
code as well since you dont use any GPL licensed code in your program?

E) What about the Ada.Standard library which is a pseudo library and 
built into the compiler? One has to use elements from that library, 
there's no way around that.
