What, exactly, are you trying to say here?

The GMGPL license is GPL compatible; see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

That means you can use GMGPL source code in a project that also has
GPL source code; the license for the total project must be GPL.

If you distribute binaries compiled with the GNAT GPL compiler, that
is true.
