Okay, let me ask it again.

Is the Ada language licensed or patented?  By language I mean the
grammar that the compiler uses.  I think it's called a BNF grammar.

Also, if you support the idea of Microsoft getting involved with Ada,
why?
What is at risk for you if Microsoft did get involved?
Are there benefits related to Microsoft's involvement that reduce your
current risks?
If so, what are they?
Why do you feel that Microsoft's involvement with Ada implies positive
results only?
