While I do much committing of my own resources, it should be noted that AdaCOM became GNATCOM with major improvements and enhancements under ACT (up to this very day). That is what I was referring to as the entrepreneurial side of COM for Ada. I was giving support to the fact that there can be some financial success at times from a project that was born out of personal commitments. I was also showing that the Ada community can reward personal commitments (even with out money) through putting in their own commitments in ways that are not always connected to software development (using, testing and commenting on projects).
