One of the practices that almost killed Ada was that of
gouging the Department of Defense because of the mandate.
By charging the highest prices they could get away with, the
compiler publishers also guaranteed that commercial prospects
for Ada would be slim to none. Had the pricing policies been
more in-line with the rest of the market, the story of Ada might
be quite different today.
