Yes, and my paper showing how the developers were ripped off when RedHat
went public is also posted on www.newportinstruments.com. I must note that
the Ada Developers Cooperate License was created for large projects. Marin
Condic and others, have quite correctly, stated that a different version is
needed for developers who are able to create a final product by themselves.

However, I do have an Idea for a limited, useful, and potentially profitable
commercial product, which I would recommend selling for $25 with a
reasonable royalty if it is used in a product. Microsoft has created Smart
Tags. An Ada tool kit to create Smart Tags would permit one to extend Office
2003. The data types will be in one or more XML schemas that extend the
present Microsoft Schemas and the methods will be in Ada. The data types in
the user created XML schema(s) will have a one-to-one correspondence with
the data types in the Ada packages. The Ada source text should be compiled
with A#. It would be perfectly permissible to host this software including
the user created XML schemas on Linux or any other operating system.

I gues somthing like this has been discussed very often at this place, and 
there are implementations already available. But i am realy wondering 
what you mean by a realtime core?
