GDAL is a translator library for raster and vector geospatial data formats that is released under an MIT style Open Source License by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. As a library, it presents a single raster abstract data model and single vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful command line utilities for data translation and processing.
It's a C++ library (with bindings to other languages) that's mainly used in GIS applications. Think of ArcGis, QGis and Google Earth.
