<h2>What is gEDA?</h2>
<p>
The gEDA project has produced and continues working on a full <a
HREF="http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html"><b>G</b>PL</a>'d suite and
toolkit of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_design_automation"><b>E</b>lectronic <b>D</b>esign <b>A</b>utomation</A> tools.
These tools are used for electrical circuit design, <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schematic_capture">schematic capture</A>,
simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA project
offers a mature suite of <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org">free software</A>
applications for electronics design, including schematic capture,
attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlisting
into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printed
circuit board (PCB) layout.</p>
<p>
The gEDA project was started because of the lack of
<a HREF="http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html">free</a> EDA tools for
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX">POSIX</A> systems with the primary purpose of advancing the state of free
hardware or <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_hardware">open
source hardware</A>. The suite is mainly being developed on the GNU/Linux
platform with some development effort going into making sure the tools run on
other platforms as well.
