Regarding this issue, is the IEEE spec copyrighted, I mean the actual Ada
code in the spec. If so, then what is the implication of this copyright.
Can people freely copy just the Ada code? Can they modify it? 

The whole business of copyrighting specs (just one small step removed from
copyrighting the look and feel of interfaces) is worrisome.
