XGC Ada is based on technology originally developed by the GNAT team at New York University and now maintained by Ada Core Technologies, Inc., and includes software from the GNU C compiler, debugger and binary utilities developed by and on behalf of the Free Software Foundation, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The chapters on advice, attributes, characteristics, compatibility, and pragmas are based on text from the GNAT Reference Manual, Version 3.11.
