It is still under Adacore modified GPL version 2. Also any changes that is may in GNAT Ada will be at Adacore web first, it may take 6 months before others become aware of those changes. And that because the chages will first appear in GNAT PRO first, which GNU has no control over, then Adacore will release the changes to the GPL version on their website. After which the GNU and other can obtain the changes at Adacore. The copies that are at SF may or may not be complete! Some of the features of Ada do not work between Archs as well as all Archs version are not archived. Plus, if you look at GNU website, you will see that they do not use SF either, they use their own web site archive. Which may or may not match the SF versions. And some do not match Adacore either which is a big problem with GNAT Ada.
