And what is the purpose of maintaining this difference?
Is it to motivate newcomers to buy GNAT Pro or rather to discourage
them completely and let them use C++/Java/.NET instead?

As far as I'm concerned, GNAT GPL represents the current state of
technology that AdaCore sells to commercial customers. That is, I can
see it and treat the GPL package for evaluation and then go buy the
Pro package once I decide that I need it. Seems logical to me.

Note: I cannot be wrong in the above. Even if I'm wrong, I'm still
right. This is because I'm the potential customer - if I get the
impression that GNAT is crap, then they just lost the chance to sell
me anything, even if in fact Pro is better than GPL. Lesson: don't
play with impressions, always make good ones.
