BTW, it is illegal to redistribute these files under terms of the GPL; the
original license is neither the GPL nor the public domain nor any other
permissive license, therefore AdaCore has no right to change the license. 
See http://bugs.debian.org/387250 for details (my apologies for forgetting
to report that to you at the time; better late than never).

While I'm at it, it seems I must remind AdaCore of another copyright
violation:
http://lists.adacore.com/pipermail/aws/2008-June/000893.html.
