I can prove myself that this is true (the help to libgda). Talking from my own
experience, I must say that having such a big project as GNUe put its hands
into helping libgda, has made some of the libgda/gnome-db developers (included
myself) more motivated on what they're doing.

So definitely, what the GNUe people are doing in this way is great for free
software, and although you can disagree with their way of doing things, I think
their behavour should be defended.
