Reusable software database

Reusable software database

[ldries46]

Is somewhere on the net a database, freeware, available of reusable software 
such as ADA Packages, C++ classes or Delphi units?
As one of the presumed advantages of ADA  often reusability of packages is 
mentioned. That means that it is not necasary to invent the wheel all over 
again. If such a database is in existence I would like to hear it to see if 
I can use anything and possibly to donate something.
If such a database is not available would it be an idea if it came into 
existence under the cover of GNU or something like that. Especially for ADA 
but also for the two other mentioned languages it may usefull. Even if 
commercial use of such a database was permitted under special conditions.

I think the closest thing there is to a central database is the Ada
Information Clearinghouse (http://www.adaic.org/).  Under Ada Links,
look at "Software Libraries" and "More Softare Libraries".  Free
software distributions like Debian, Gentoo or FreeBSD have package
databases which can also provide information.

For C++ you might try this:

http://www.trumphurst.com/cpplibs/cpplibs.php

It is pretty comprehensive.
