No.

What part of the AdaCore tool chain centered around GNAT can one not
get for free, and compatibly with both FOSS and closed source development?
The GNAT stuff, GPS, etc. are also available as part of Linux systems.

(The other remarks: about trains in France, the UK, and elsewhere, as well
as cars from Japan being 100% run by the military seem to lend themselves
to an estimation of their value.)
