If you are talking about the official ASIS specs ("like the packages in the Ada RM"), they are part of an ISO standard, and as such under ISO copyright. However, in the case of APIs, ISO allows their use by any implementation (otherwise, they would be useless). This has of course nothing common with the GPL or any other open license. -- J-P.
