Just downloaded GtkAda 2.2.1 which listed as GMGPL at freshmeat. The
README says:

Looks like this hasn't changed a bit since version 0.1 of GtkAda. So
the questions is: has there ever been a public GMGPL version of
GtkAda? Has anyone a written legally binding piece of paper signed by
Robert Dewar to prove it? And does he have a proof that Dewar is
authorized to sign such a paper? After all the AUTHORS file says:
AUTHORS
=======
The authors of GtkAda are
Emmanuel Briot <briot@gnat.com>
Joel Brobecker <brobecker@gnat.com>
Arnaud Charlet <charlet@gnat.com>
And by the way: how am I supposed to know if GNAT GPL Edition is
really GPLed software? Did anyone who downloaded it get a piece of
paper signed by Robert Dewar which says so?
