Arno,

Thank you for responding. I intend to seek counsel, but she will want  
to examine the relevant licensing terms. Were I to distribute a binary  
version of the example cited, it would include two instances of the  
generic package Gtk.Handlers and one instance of Gtk.Main.Timeout. In  
addition, it would  link to code derived from your exemplary  
Double_Buffer package. It would include no other GtkAda code. All  
three files are marked as permitting redistribution under the terms of  
the GNU General Public License, version 2, and each file includes an  
exception for instantiating generics and linking. Are there any other  
licensing terms that would apply?

Thanks,

John
