A change to the license on future distributions does not change the license under which you obtained it. If you obtained a GMGPL version of GtkAda 2.4.0, then you had a GMGPL version, regardless of the license used later. If you kept that version, then you still have a GMGPL version. You also have the right to redistribute that GMGPL version granting the GMGPL to those you distribute it to. -- Jeff Carter "Many times we're given rhymes that are quite unsingable."
