Nope.

The GtkAda license:

License

This package is distributed under the GPL license, slightly modified so
that you can create proprietary software with this toolkit. The license
is actually the same as the GNAT library itself. You should also read
the Gtk license itself if you intend to do proprietary software based on
gtk and GtkAda.
