Don't think so. For two main reasons: 1. GNU doesn't always mean FSF. Most GNU projects are FSF-funded. But some aren't: GNAT was partially funded by the USAF, GNOME has the GNOME Foundation. 2. The wording is terrible. AdaCore is a company, and companies aren't usually all that nice towards GNU/FSF, etc. And, no, I don't think that Adacore has the right to remove the clause.
