Is not the exception - in practice - the same thing

This is from header of gnoga-gui-screen.ads (randomly picked)

"
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.
"

and

"
As a special exception, if other files instantiate generics from this
unit, or you link this unit with other files to produce an executable,
this unit  does not  by itself cause  the resulting executable to be
covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not
however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file  might be
covered by the  GNU Public License.
"

It looks (to me) as just about the same as in gnat pro
