Since Gnat is under FSF copyleft, and its sources are easily obtainable, and part of the _intent_ of it was that universities and others would have a readily available Ada compiler to do language experiments with, I believe that it does indeed fit this perspective. Now clearly that is _not_ what will happen to the standard adhering, ACVC validated evolving versions of it maintained by ACT, but that seems a different point." Yet it is true. Surely people can play with extended versions of the language in their own copies, and if they like distribute them, but at least so far, the version maintained by ACT with the FSF copyright, is exactly Ada 95, and NOT an extension of it.
