The existence of such a compiler (by AdaCore or someone else)=20 > would be good for the Ada community. I'll have the Gnoga IDE ready before end of year and packaged dev environme= nts with it. While certainly someone could package gps and fsf together, I don't think t= hat is a positive approach to things, I'm only in to win win for all. They = have willingly contributed back the compiler to the FSF and it itself is a = derivative work, so I have no issue building on it on using the same GPL fo= r the community advantage, but they have every right to showcase their vers= ion and their tools like GPS and have all the benefit from doing so and I h= ave no interest in taking that away form them. Even more when simply installing GNAT-GPL and putting the FSF compiler on t= he command line before it makes it all work anyways. David Botton
