Since it is a major point of OpenBSD that it is a _free_ operating
system that can be used by anybody for anything (as Bob Beck loves
to say: people can build baby mulching machines with it and that's
okay), I don't see the point of Theo's remark.  Maybe he was just
in a snarky mood.  But as you originally wrote:

| Sorry, I don't have enough motivation to hack GCC port...

And apparently, so doesn't have anybody else.  Nobody is stopping
people from working on Ada/gnat.

GPL3 ports are perfectly acceptable in the ports tree.
