Hei again,
before I spend much time on it:
what is the "best" XML parser (DOM) for Ada?
Only to go for the AdaCore DOM module without side-looking? :-)

The GNAT code is the best but requires full source to be provided If
the executable that uses it is given to a third party.
If the program will be only personally used or only used by the
organization that created then it the GNU GPL v3 is not an issue at all.

If you look at the XML/Ada project on Github[1], you'll find the file
COPYING.RUNTIME, which contains the additional permissions discussed in
the source comments:
-- As a special exception under Section 7 of GPL version 3, you are granted --
-- additional permissions described in the GCC Runtime Library Exception, --
-- version 3.1, as published by the Free Software Foundation. --
-- --
-- You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License and --
-- a copy of the GCC Runtime Library Exception along with this program; --
-- see the files COPYING3 and COPYING.RUNTIME respectively. If not, see --
-- <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
So you *can* provide an executable without providing the source (provided
the other conditions are met, of course)

Thanks for informative answers.
By the way: are there examples where giving out the source code is a real disadvantage for a project under active development? (ignoring here issues related to militaray secrets or similar). I mean *real* examples. Nobody wants to pay for programs/service that is free and available online? NB: Open source can also bee looked at as a guarantee for access to a program system?

Not exactly your question, but you can find my paper "On the benefits
for industrials of sponsoring free software development" interesting:
