But if I create an application using my GMGPL code and the GNAT GPL compiler, my
program (and all of its source code) must become GPL, and I am not allowed to be
"super-unselfish". Thus, I find the GNAT GPL compiler unsuitable for my
purposes. I consider it inappropriate for any compiler to take such choices from
me, and for any OS to supply such a compiler.
