At least, this one is not FUD (lol). I myself, have read some text from =
 =

the FSF which left me with a similar feeling. Anyway, there is still no =
 =

real=E2=80=91life issue with the GPL and GNAT. If there are issues, thes=
e are  =

elsewhere, like with suspected (erroneous or not) intents, political  =

opinions and others. I don't believe the runtime libraries will ever  =

become pure GPL, because as much they would like, if they could, make  =

every thing pure GPL, *they are as much aware they can't* and aware doin=
g  =

so will be counterproductive for the FSF lobbying, as making runtime  =

libraries pure GPL, would prevent many people from using it at all. They=
  =

know it, and although they don't like it, they have to do with it.  =

Conclusion: it's unlikely there will ever be an concrete issue with it, =
at  =

least not before a rather far future.

May be you are less spreading FUD (which is always too bad to say to  =

someone) than doing unprobable extrapolations, for some reasons you are =
 =

the only one to know.
