Anything they distributed under the GMGPL remains under the GMGPL. They're certainly allowed to change the license they use for GtkAda for other distributions, but that doesn't affect the license under which they distributed it to you. Florist is maintained and distributed elsewhere, it seems, so that doesn't seem such an issue. But if you're worried that the Florist license might change, get it now so you'll have it with the current license if it does. -- Jeff Carter "Many times we're given rhymes that are quite unsingable."
