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. Bob Leif Robert C.

I gues somthing like this has been discussed very often at this place, and there are implementations already available.
