On Debian GNU/Linux systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'. Maintainer's note: In the previous version of Debian, libgtkada2 2.4.0 was licensed under the terms of the GNAT-Modified GNU General Public License (GMGPL). This new version is licensed under the terms of the pure GPL. As a consequence, it is no longer legal to distribute proprietary software that incorporates this library. If your program uses GtkAda, and if you wish your program to use licensing terms incompatible with the GPL, you have three choices: - distribute your program in source form only, and require your licensees to build it for themselves. Your sources need not be under GPL, since they are not linked to GtkAda. - contact AdaCore, the upstream author, at sales@adacore.com, and purchase a GMGPL license for GtkAda. - do not distribute your program at all. You may be tempted to retrieve the sources from AdaCore's CVS repository. Be warned that doing so will still grant you a pure GPL license, despite the fact that AdaCore have not yet adjusted the licensing boilerplate in source files. In Debian, I have removed the "special exception" language only to remove confusion. It is not I who changed the actual license, it is AdaCore. Contact them at libre@adacore.com for any clarification.
