Wanted: affordable cross platform (i.e. Windows + Linux) Ada
development system. No licensing restrictions for software produced
with said development system.

My company will start selling diode lasers with a new touch panel HMI
that was programmed in Ada later this year. It was fun to work on this
project, but I have to use fairly old versions of the compiler & libs
because newer ones are either too expensive or not viable because of
licensing restrictions.
