If you pull a FSF GCC distribution, with a FSF version number, from a FSF server, it's my understanding that the Ada RTL component is licensed under the GMGPL. A theoretical concern that I had a few weeks ago was could ACT, at a later date, move the GNAT.* packages in the FSF distribution to been GPL only on the basis that they were not part of the Ada 95 standard, and hence, like GtkAda, ACT was free to do with them whatever they wanted to do ?
