Yes, indeed that's a reasonable model. Unfortunately, all
too often proprietary licensing models mean that you are tied to the
original vendor for ever when it comes to support.

At Ada Core Technologies, we know very well that people
could compete with us on GNAT support, and very likely
will compete if we don't do a good job. That keeps us
working hard to provide good support :-)
