Something I always wondered about. Why do the Ada standards
have copy right on them by specific companies? How does
this relate to Ada being open/ISO/ANSI etc... standard?

I am just little confused on what is being copy righted here
that is all.

For example, Ada 2012 on the above page says:

-----------------

-----------------

Is this copyright just for the manual itself, or Ada
the "language" in some sense?
