YES YES YES YES
Important to some!! To A L L of Ada advocacy!! Ada wins!!
The GPL is a noble cause, but GPL on Ada (_library_) code doesn't advocate
GPL ___OR___ Ada.
A huge THANK YOU to the entire XML Ada team and to all of Ada Core
Technologies Inc. who certainly did not _have to_ do this!
Can you tell that I am happy with this :-)
I only wish I could afford to write things like an SVG engine using XMLAda
and GtkAda. Talk about killer App for Ada, see
http://www.adobe.com/svg/overview/svg.html SVG in a nutshell is a graphic
meta file format using XML. It may very well (combined with JavaScript)
become a major open replacement technology to Macromedia Flash and much
more.
(BTW Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator and others already output SVG)
I can of course take advantage with Ada already on Win32 of Adobe's SVG
engine using GNATCOM, but it would be very nice to have a cross platform
version. (I better stop here before I start to sound like Robert Leif :-)
