No. At the time when AdaCore switched licenses, I specifically asked AdaCore what the licensing terms were for sources in the CVS server (which is now Subversion). Robert Dewar said it was pure GPL, like everything on the libre site, even though the source files contain the "special exception" text. I then suggested they remove the "special exception" from the sources to reduce confusion, but they never did. If you don't believe me (I wouldn't take offense as IANAL :) ) then by all means, please ask AdaCore. There are two ways to get a GMGPL version of GtkAda nowadays: take the last GMGPL public release, namely version 2.4, from Debian 3.1 "Sarge" and a few other places; or ask a paying AdaCore customer for a copy (yes, this is legal). -- Ludovic Brenta.
