The license for the library and the license for the binding are 2 
different things. There is no "automatic" license for a binding, except 
a totally restrictive one.

Since the binding is distributed as source, you might want to distribute 
it under the GMGPL. The LGPL does not always make sense for Ada source 
code, which is why the GMGPL was invented.

In any case, you should state clearly on your web site what license is 
involved, and what platforms and compilers are supported.
