License change -------------- XML/Ada 2.2 has switched to the pure GNU GPL license. As a result, if you use XML/Ada 2.2 in your program, you have four options: - do not distribute your program at all (you can always use it for yourself). - distribute your program under the terms of the GPL, i.e. with full sources and the four freedoms: inspection, redistribution, modification, and distribution of modified copies. - distribute your program in source form only, under licensing terms of your choosing (perhaps under non-disclosure, non-redistribution terms), and ask your licensees to recompile your program for themselves. - contact AdaCore (sales@adacore.com) and purchase a GNAT-Modified GPL which will allow you to distribute your program in binary-only form without disclosing your sources. If you obtain XML/Ada 2.2 or later from AdaCore's CVS or web server, you may notice that the source files still contain the GNAT-Modified license boilerplate. This boilerplate has no legal force; you must ask AdaCore for clarification. The license is really the pure GPL. In order to reduce the risk for confusion, I have removed this license boilerplate from the sources in the Debian package. -- Ludovic Brenta, 2006-07-13
