These libraries are built from the GCC sources, so the FSF owns the
copyright.

libgnatvsn contains those packages, under GPL with Runtime Library
Exception, that are shared with ASIS for GNAT.

libgnatprj contains the pure GPL units for the project manager: part of
gnatmake, shared with GPS, and using libgnatvsn.

Only changes to the GCC build machinery are necessary to produce these
two libraries.

If you're going to attend FOSDEM, I suggest we meet to discuss this in
more detail.
