At the moment I am not supported (ran out a few months ago and we have not
renewed just yet).
In any case, the first thing I wanted to say is that I have never been told,
asked, or hinted at to not distribute anything by Ada Core Technologies.
Perhaps they have asked hinted or told others this but it certainly never
came up when we purchased support.
The reason I don't distribute i (and I suspect many others) is that I did
not "buy" it. The support was purchased by my employer. While ACT may not be
able to restrict who I give it to it is certainly not clear that my own
company could not (it would seem to be that internal use never falls under
the distribution clause of the GPL and thus the T & Cs of the GPL do not
apply)... Now my company may or may not care or may or may not be within
their rights to tell me not to distribute but who really wants to play that
game with their employer.
gcc 3.4.1 is pretty solid. Sure it has got a few issues here and there but
so does ever compiler (including the supported versions). I recommend that
people who are unable or unwilling to purchase the supported version move on
to gcc 3.4.1 and the various community supported side tools (such as ASIS,
Florist).
It would be great it Ada Core Technologies would release another public
version but I think they have enough work to do right now just trying to get
ready for gcc 4.0.
