No.... The original poster is somewhat wrong and you are even more wrong.
Originally...many many years back, GNAT was developed partially using a
grant of federal money.
It was a GPL project then.
It is a GPL project now.
The p versions are GPL.
The version in the FSF tree is GPL.
The GNAT Pro versions ARE GPL.
GNAT Pro has now (for many many years) been mostly maintained by ACT using
private money from
selling support services.
GNAT Pro continues to be distributed under the terms of the GPL.
