How did all the messages about licensing issues come up on this list
anyway?
Is it only an issue of the libraries involved? Is there a project
underway to make an open source compiler specifically for Ada2005 that
does not have ties to anyone and has the correct "open source"
licensing?
How do I tell if the GNAT compiler I use that is distributed with
FreeBSD Unix has restrictions or not short of exceeding the n ~= 35
units (whatever a unit is)?

Because AdaCore changed the licensing of libraries to the pure GPL.

What is "correct" open source licensing? Libraries licensed under the
GPL are "open source" all right, as per the OSI definition.

FreeBSD should tell you that. See www.freebsd.org.
The 35-unit limitation applies to ObjectAda Special (evaluation)
edition only. Is that the compiler you're using?

It has no restrictions of this kind, just the GPL license.
