Uri asked

"  And I wonder how will DEC circumvent the GNU license to continue selling
  the ADA compiler without sources and without dropping one cent of their
  license's price."

Well that's a lot of bogus misconceptions packed into a single sentence :-)

DEC will not sell the GNAT compiler for VMS. It will be available from ACT
with commercial support, just like other versions of GNAT that are supported,
and no one is trying to circumvent the GPL.
