This means that the resulting comp= iler has the GPL license instead of the GMGPL. If this work was based on G= NAT-FSF's compiler instead of AdaCore's GNAT GPL Edition, then it would be = more useful, because the resulting apps on OSX produced by this GPS-on-Mac = would not need to be GPL licensed. I don't see any problem here. GPS is a text editor, it can have whatever li= cense. Once you have your text files shiny and ready, feel free (yes, it's = about freedom) to build your project from command line using the compiler o= f your choice with whatever other license (or even on whatever other system= with appropriate toolchain). Don't confuse IDEs with compilers. They don't even need each other. --=20 Maciej Sobczak * http://www.msobczak.com * http://www.inspirel.com
