Since copyright covers fixed form writings and your version is a new
writing you might want to supply your own licence.

How fortran version relates to Ada you might want to ask fortran version=
  =

author, since some code fragments probably stay unchanged.

Also, fortran licence covers fortran sources, so I dont think that  =

inclusion of this one relates to Ada sources somehow.
