Hello, Jamie, Your website says: The GNAT GPL Edition is licensed for Free Software development and is subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Read the terms carefully before downloading. (It then provides a link to the GPL licence at gnu.org.) The GCC compiler is also licensed under the GPL, which allows the development and distribution of proprietary software using that compiler. Could you please explain here on comp.lang.ada how the same licence can have two different effects, one for GCC, and another for GNAT? Thank you.
