And we will see if GPL libraries give a significant boost to free
software development over GMGPL libraries. I'd say 
non-free development tools don't harm the development of free
software. There are 20000 Java projects on Sourceforge vs. 110 Ada
projects. Maybe Ada catches up now than the libs are GPL?
