This is specifically for hardware. Looks really cool! I’ve always been confused about Ada the language and its licensing though. I know this project is open source but is the language as well? It’s unclear to me, though I may be missing information

Just as open as COBOL, Fortran, C and C++.

As ISO standards driven language with multiple implementations, commercial and open source ones.

The open source one is part of GCC.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The C++ (draft) standards are open source: https://github.com/cplusplus/draft Last time I looked I could not find an equivalent repository for the C standards.

There isn't one. They publish completed drafts on the working group website: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/wg14_document_lo...

.pdf unfortunately. The C++ sources that I linked to are machine readable .tex.
