I've bought an Arduino Due (for more Ada RTS fun) and am having real
trouble getting the Mac to talk to it using available software (bossa,
ino). So of course I'm going to have a go at it myself.
To do that I need an Ada implementation of the xmodem protocol. The only
one I've found is at[1] on AdaIC; it was produced by Westinghouse in
1988 under a DoD contract. I can't see anything in the way of copyright
or license terms, so I wonder if I can use it in my project? (which I
would normally release under GPLv3).

File README says, "If there are any questions, problems, etc, please contact
Terri Hobbs, (301) 765-2246." Have you done that?

No, because (a) 1988, (b) ring someone up?! But thanks for the
suggestion.
I found a partial PAL archive at ftp.cs.kuleuven.be which contains the
relevant catalog entry and says "Approved for public release;
distribution unlimited". Unfortunately "partial" means "doesn't contain
this asset".
I have a 1998 and a 2000 PAL on CD, but neither has this package.
