Larry said

"Nobody said DEC would sell the result, just that DEC was funding the
compiler development.  DEC makes money selling hardware and operating
systems, and apparently sees having Ada 95 available on their machines
as important, but not a sufficient revenue generator to upgrade DEC Ada.
Perhaps they do not see it as a revenue generator due to the presence of
GNAT.  Although I think DEC Ada is great, and in general I prefer to
use commercial products."

Please note that GNAT *is* a commercial product. Perhaps you meant
proprietary here?
