    Write a really good driver for Linux using Ada 2012 and do not use

    Be silent about the language. Can an Adaist do that, to save the
    language?"

    Hi,

    Many Linux drivers have code clones. Code cloning saves nothing.

    With best regards.

    Dear Dr. Kazakov and Dr. Abbasi,

    I positively cite you in e.g. HTTPS://SalesForce-EU.123FormBuilder.com/upload_dld.php?fileid=3D8f38e2adbd= 433c5d12509c99f1733db8
