I am not quite sure of the context of this (since the original has not yet
shown up at our site here), but a relevant piece of information is that
Ada Core Technologies does provide inexpensive site licenses for universities
covering unlimited users on multiple platforms, and a number of universities
hold such contracts. For more information, contact sales@gnat.com.
Note that other Ada companies also provide free or inexpensive Ada
products for use in universities. The days when the statement above
was true are past!
