Thank you for cutting to the chase.

I'm protesting. The AdaCore relationship to the free software world is
broken. I won't be using GNAT. It's not my problem, and I won't be
spending even a moment of my time fixing it myself.

I do see some worth, however speculative, in spurring people who care
to do something about it. Given the reactions I've received, that
worth is becoming increasingly speculative.
