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. -- Jeff Carter "The time has come to act, and act fast. I'm leaving."
