Roy Fielding asks

<<The question for the GLADE developers is why are you distributing under
the GPL?  Is it really your intention to prevent proprietary use of
the GNAT Distributed Systems Annex?  If not, then LGPL is more appropriate,
though even the LGPL has some bone-headed provisions.

I just checked the most recent public release, and it is simply 
misinformation to say that GLADE is distributed under the GPL. All
units of GLADE are distributed under the modified GPL that allows
free use (this modified GPL is far more permissive than the more
restrictive LGPL).

What exactly is your problem? Are you just assuming that the GLADE
components are under the GPL without checking?
