<<Will packages like XML\Ada that are under the new ACT policy be available
for purchase or under a very low price minimal support contract that are
reasonable for small time developers?
>>

No, we are not in this kind of business at all

<<(The guys at RR Software must be loving this new policy :-)
>>

They aren't a force in the Ada market at all at this stage, and they sell
all their stuff under proprietary licenses anyway.

The only people who are affected by this policy are non-customers who want
to build proprietary software, or those who want to build tools and libraries
for such parties, and they have never been on our radar screen.

The only comunities we are interested in helping are our supported customers
and those developing free software products for use in entirely free software
activities.
