Funny point. it happens I had this question too in mind : “where does this  
UML package comes from, as I have never seen something like this if not  
with Ada”.

Funny to also note UML package does not exactly match Ada package. May be  
the inspiration came in two ways : Ada package and Ada orthogonality and  
they wanted to make package and name-space orthogonal ?

I did not knew Grady Booch used Ada. Did he wrote about it also ?
