Ah. thanks. That's the first response I see to my question which might shed
some light om the issue and is not based on generic legal IANAL-advice
or rumours.

I don't think that's specific enough. He ist just talking about
"package". The distributables in question are (for me):
- GtkAda 2.4.0, Source as from libre (no license on site).
- GtkAda 2.4.0, Win32 executables from libre (no license on site).
- GtkAda 2.2.1, as advertised on freshmeat (as GMGPL!) and still served
- GtkAda Sources, various versions, as distributed via anon CVS from libre.
- Finally: The single files in all versions above which carry a GMGPL
copyright header. If one where to strip all build mechanisms from
the original GtkAda and just use the *.ads and *.adb files to build
a new binding: Would that be GMGPL?
The question still is: Was GtkAda ever under GMGPL? In which sense?
What was the last GMGPL version (ACT doesn't document that very clearly).

Only that Trolltech AFAIR has a linking exception for QT?

I might just do that. I'll keep all informed.
