Pretty sure there's one code base, with a branch that AdaCore use to
support their customers, and another for FSF GCC. The fact that merges
are one-way doesn't negate this.

When I was a supported AdaCore customer, the source (3.16a1, at least 15
years ago) had (c) FSF with GMGPL extensions.

Further evidence: now that gnatcoll is on github, you can look at the
sources for yourself[1]. In particular, note that COPYING.RUNTIME was
added 7 years ago!
