One more data point.  The last time I enquired the cost was either $10000 or 
$12000 for 10 developer seats, and that was the minimum.  But that was many 
years ago.  We wound up going with ObjectAda at the time which was closer to 
$500 per developer with no minimum.  At the time we also received a discount 
from Aonix by purchasing 5 licenses.

I am in the camp of individuals who think that AdaCore should have a lower 
minimum, although to be fair I haven't asked recently.
