Hello all of you,

The Ada 2005 compiler, GNAT GPS licence states that this compiler
cannot be used for commercial applications (if I'm not wrong). The
MinGW compiler suite licence give access to create commercial
applications (if I'm still not wrong).

But what about the Ada 2005 compiler which comes with MinGW ? It has
something to deal with GNAT, isn't it ? So can I use it to comile
commercial applications ?

Note : this is a for a near futur attempt, I do not know if weither or
not this gonna works find, if weither or not I gonna earn anything.
I'm not sure (as people on the web does not like this kind of things,
this may be rejected). Further more, this will be for very low cost
applications (something which will be paid via SMS+ and the like), so
I cannot risk to lose anything buying a too much expensive licence,
althought if it goes fine, I will obviously agree to give some percent
of my earns to a compiler provider.

I will not use any of Qt or GTK for Ada, so I have no question about
these libriraries (will use my own), althought some one else may be
interested in this question.
