The versions of GtkAda I've got (1.13, 2.2.0, and 2.4.0 for Windows) all 
include only the GMGPL licensing language, so I'm fairly confident that 
that is the license for them.

Are your clients going to distribute binaries? If not, it doesn't seem 
to be anything that you even need to mention. You create the SW, give 
them binaries and the source (which they probably will never look at), 
and everyone's happy.

Does anyone (other than you) really care what language you use? I think 
the figure you're quoting is for GNAT Pro; I don't know what support for 
GtkAda only would cost, or even if it's available.
