That's an interesting observation.

We had somehow got the idea that the added permission to instantiate
and link with didn't permit modification. We never had any reason to
test that, since we didn't have any such problems.

I think what you're saying is that we can modify the GNAT-modified-GPL
files without removing the extra permissions? (if so, obvious really
now you point it out ..)
