Also made a couple of minor changes to silence -gnatwa. > Ouch. I thought it was all GPL. That could be a serious problem. I wasn't aware that the FSF thinks the ACL (or the Perl Artistic License) had problems. I just chose the ACL because it seems to work well for the Ada 95 Booch components. It's not a big issue for me, and the GMGPL does indeed, as you point out, accomplish the same goals. So I changed the licenses on these few files (easy to do, since it's all mine -- no third parties involved). AdaBrowse 1.51 (now at the URL ) contains all these changes (code clean-up and using the GMGPL instead of the ACL for the generally useful files). It has also a simple Makefile now. So the license at least shouldn't be an issue anymore when and if ever AdaBrowse should be checked-in into the gcc-gnat CVS tree. But remember, first ASIS-for-GNAT has to get in there! Why was it omitted in the first place? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Wolf e-mail: t_wolf@angelfire.com
