Exactly: "at least for windows". As I said: I regret I started the
discussion. I actually wanted to understand why someone thinks he must
license under GPL when I thought wether he could use GMGPL.

But the discussion is already being distorted into "but you can use
other compilers than GNAT". Sorry, Martin, but "just any Ada compiler"
is hardly a criterion to select a programming system. And to "GNAT
isn't the only Ada compiler" out there I'm tempted to respond that
GNAT isn't even the only compiler out there. :-).

Again: I already regret that I started this. I also don't know what
"GNAT" has to do with licensing terms of libraries (DTRAQ, or what I
used as an example in my recent post, GtkAda).
