Untrue.  The specified web page deals only with embedded use of Ada.

But the survey page says you cannot complete the survey unless you
provide an email address, so they may contact you in case you win a
prize.  Since the prize was not central to the post here in the
newsgroup, this seems to me just an attempt to collect a mailing
address for spam purposes.
