I don't think he meant to say that AWS was the reason :) I'd argue it will be reason people WILL take up Ada as more tools and packages are built on AWS and Gnoga.
Besides as I just asked nice and you had a script in hours prooof enough that is not the case.
The idea is that Ada for small companies and projects is not so attractive with the current situation. Something that I think as a community we can change.
I have not approached AdaCore yet about the work I am doing and my roadmap. However while it has been a mixed bag of reception for many of my ideas perhaps they will see a viable business and community value in returning to a different license and direct support for some community projects that are not their core business. We will see.
Regardless I believe as I mentioned I have a good business model that can produce a sustainable business for serious Ada developers in the application space and enough to help fund non gpl encumbered Ada distros.
