Upstream version control system at https://github.com/AdaCore/aws
provides traditional MAJOR.MINOR versions as git tags and tarballs.
The permissive license visible there is intended for commercial use.

Debian redistributes the GPL-3+ releases, available
* either as tarballs at https://libre.adacore.com
  The watch file uses this URL, via a Debian redirector to circumvent
  the dynamic HTML rendering.
* or as git branches (not tags) named gpl-YEAR in the VCS.
  The content of a branch may evolve with time, and we want reproducible
  archives. Moreover, the source headers contain the wrong license.

Once the watch file has been used in the usual way, the archive is
manually renamed with version MAJOR.MINOR.YEAR so that comparison with
commercial versions makes sense.

According to the VCS, gpl-2017 is roughly between 17.2 and 18.0. You
may recreate it with
# uscan
# mv ../libaws_2017.orig.tar.xz ../libaws_17.2.2017.orig.tar.xz

The branch com.adacore.libaws in the www.ada-france.org monotone
repository used to track the repackaged contents of tarballs from the
Adacore website, but this does not seem useful anymore.
