Here is a reply from Robert Dewar to your message:
David Starner said
<<Not wrt to GNAT, as the copyright on that is owned by the FSF. FSF
would have probably objected to ACT offering a different license to
its customers than to the general public. >>
I suggest that you do not presume to speak for the FSF. In fact Richard
Stallman has no objections to the Cygnus model. It does not affect people
writing free software, and that is his primary concern and always has been.
Actually I expected Richard to react negatively when I first heard of the
Cygnus cheme, but he didn't, and when he explained his rationale that
made perfect sense.
