Why not spend time and resources promoting FSF GNAT builds, instead of
complaining about an AdaCore GNAT build?

If you remembered to link to where people can get a FSF GNAT build[1] every
time you respond to a discussion about to the license of GNAT GPL/GNAT
CE, people would be much more likely to notice that they don't have to
use GNAT GPL/GNAT CE.

Greetings,

Jacob

[1] FSF GNAT 8 is included in Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu.  FSF GNAT 7 is
    packaged for Windows in MSys (http://www.msys2.org/).
