+Gerbv is one of the utilities affiliated with the gEDA project, an
+umbrella organization dedicated to producing free software tools for
+electronic design.
+
+Gerbv is a viewer for Gerber RS-274X files, Excellon drill files, and
+CSV pick-and-place files. It is a native Linux application, and it runs
+on many common unix platforms. Gerbv is free / open-source software. The
+core functionality of gerbv is located in a separate library (libgerbv),
+allowing developers to include Gerber parsing/editing/exporting/rendering
+into other programs.
