No, you can use RM packages because we've carefully kept the original
copyrights and document intact; the ISO versions are *derived* from that
document. When you are implementing Ada, you are using the packages from the
RM, which have an appropriate exception.
That was not done for ASIS, and there is no appropriate exception to use the
libraries. And surely not to copy the extensive comments along with the spec
(even if you argue that fair use allows you to implement the spec -- and the
Oracle case appears to have ruled that there is no such right -- you don't
need to copy the comments that make up the bulk of the ASIS Standard).
Randy.
