There are but not for a guy who isn't already in business selling software
written in Ada.
Janus Ada /RR Software pricing looked acceptable for a hobbyist last time I
looked (a few years ago) but that's it as far as I know. Government contract
pricing and severe attitude problems at vendors make the price of entry for
Ada higher than just about anything else. Greenhills laughed me off the
phone when I called in 2008 asking if they had hobbyist or single developer
licenses. They wouldn't even tell me how much their offering cost. This kind
of behavior really says a lot about the market.
The RR web site suggests nothing has happened since Ada 95 and most people
are interested in something a little newer... if not you can still find
copies of 3.15p and won't catch gpl-bola from it.
