Mike Brenner says

"The reason for using a non-GNAT Ada-95 compiler is for fear of commercial
use of GNAT's libraries. If commercial use of the GNAT compiler and the
libraries needed to produce this application is forbidden, then there is
a serious problem, and it needs to be solved."


There is no problem.
Nothing needs to be solved.
Of course it is possible to use GNAT to generate proprietary (I assume
that is what you mean by commercial) programs.
