<<The question for the GLADE developers is why are you distributing under

the GNAT Distributed Systems Annex?  If not, then LGPL is more appropriate,

Right now, the public releases of GLADE are for general exploratory use,
and are not intended for incorporation into proprietary code. The intention
is that in future there will be releases of GLADE which use the modified
GPL in appropriate contexts. No public release policy has been established
for GLADE yet (which is a quite separate product from GNAT).
