ASIS-for-GNAT was originally developed by the ASIS-for-GNAT team at the
Software Engineering Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology (LGL-EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, in cooperation with the
Scientific Research Computer Center of Moscow State University (SRCC
MSU), Russia, with funding partially provided by grants from the Swiss
National Science Foundation and the Swiss Academy of Engineering
Sciences. ASIS-for-GNAT is now maintained by AdaCore
(http://www.adacore.com).

Maintainer's note:
In contrast to previous versions of ASIS, this version is licensed under
the pure GPL. This means that if you produce binary executables linked
with ASIS, and if you distribute these binary executables to anyone,
then you *must* do so under the terms of the GPL. This means that you
must give them (your customers) the sources of your program, and that
they (your customers) have a right to modify and redistribute your
program under the terms of the GPL.
If you do not wish to license your software under the terms of the GPL,
then you have three choices:
- do not distribute your software at all (i.e. only use it internally
for your own purposes)
- distribute your software in source form only, under licensing terms of
your choosing
- contact AdaCore (sales@adacore.com) and acquire a GNAT Pro license,
which will allow you to distribute binaries linked with ASIS under
licensing terms of your choosing.
