This is the license used for the GNAT run-time which ensures that the run-time can be used freely in any program without GPL concerns." and from a gnatinfo.txt: "For more information on the licensing provisions, consult the headers of the appropriate source files." So, concluding, I'd say that the license is described in the COPYING file, with the special exception to which the previous quote refers. But IANAL.
