This confusing license perhaps "exposing" a company to GPL terms when
the headers clearly are not GPL will make a great writeup that will
pretty much make it impossible to even use GNATPro within my company.

I don't understand. Did your company not receive a license statement
from AdaCore along with GNAT Pro?

I didn't. But I'm not selling or distributing anything, so I don't
care specifically.

On the other hand, I probably could get one, since I have a
contractual relationship with them.

No, I don't think AdaCore want to sue anyone. I would rather think they
are die-hard, purist Free Software believers, like RMS (i.e. "free up
your software or pay").

That wasn't what they said when they first released GNAT with GMGPL
runtime libraries.
