Subject: GtkAda License Question

(Oh no, not a licensing question again).

In the new GNAT-2006 release I found GtkAda labeled as
GTKAda-GPL. Since, if that were so, it would hinder the use of GTkAda
under GMPL-conditions with gccada, I started (as a first step) to look
into the licensing of the older GTKAda 2.4.1 and now I'm confused:

 - Most (if not all) of the files which are later linked to the
   executable seem to carry the GMPL linking exception.

 - Neither COPYING nor README mention the linking exception.

Does anybody here have any idea how the licensing situation of GtkAda
actually is? Are the copyright header with linking exception are only
remnants of (happy :-) days long past or is GtkAda actually licensed
with a linking exceaption (in version 2.4.1) and it just has been
forgotten in the README to mention that? And what about the new
versions from the CVS (i.e. 2.8.0)?
