If you go to that site you will see

   GNAT is a free, high-quality, complete compiler for Ada95, integrated
   into the GCC compiler system.

and what I was objecting to was that, since FSF GCC now supports
Ada2012, that notice is out of date (and, in fact, by 17 years, not 7!)

I'm just submitting a comment to that effect ...
