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.
