I don't recognise an FSF AUnit? AdaCore used to have (may still have) a
publicly-visible AUnit SVN repo, but they stopped updating it so I went
back to the GNAT GPL version. Of course, no problem using AUnit in
closed-source projects, because you won't be releasing your test
binaries to customers anyway!
