+cat << EOF
+GNU Data Access (GDA) is an attempt to provide uniform access to
+different kinds of data sources (databases, information servers, mail
+spools, etc). It is a complete architecture that provides all you need
+to access your data. It is defined by a set of CORBA interfaces as
+generic as possible (but very powerful at the same time) so that any
+kind of data source can be accessed through them.
+libgda is an interface to the GDA architecture, providing a nice
+wrapper around the CORBA interfaces, for both the client and the server
+parts. It also provides a bunch of tools to help you both in the
+development and management of your data sources, all done through
+the GDA model's set of CORBA interfaces.
+libgda was part of the GNOME-DB project
+(http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-db),
+but has been separated from it to allow non-GNOME applications to be
+developed based on it.
+libgda is released under the terms of the GPL and LGPL licenses. The
+specific parts of the architecture are licensed under one of them:
+executables, such as the command-line tools and the database providers
+are licensed under the GPL license, which means that any work derived
+from it must also adhere to the terms of the GPL license. Libraries
+(libgda-common, libgda-client, libgda-server , libgda-report) are, on
+the other hand, licensed under the LGPL license, which allows for
+commercial applications to be developed based on libgda.
