View source for GNAT Modified General Public Licence

Commonly known as the '''GMGPL''', the "GNAT Modified General Public License" is identical to the [[GNU GPL v3 Licence]] except that it adds the following clause to the terms and conditions of the licence, the basic idea is to ensure that there is no ambiguity for those that want to build commercial tools or other closed source software using the GPL V3, and no danger of the GPL unintentionally taking ownership of other code via the "derivative works" clause.

As it is a licence with fixed terms the text below it should not be modified except for formatting purposes, if a more recent version is published a new page should be created for that licence since software packages that do not get updated will continue to be governed by the terms of the older licence.
