Originally Glade was a standalone GUI designer that happened to use XML as it's storage format for saving the project. Glade would generate code (under no license) that would construct the GUI. Then some enterprising GTK guru decided that it was silly to have glade emit code (which makes modification a pain every time you make a GUI change), so they created libglade which imported the glade files directly, bypassing the whole code-generation step. This proved to be a superior method and now Glade-3 doesn't do any code generation at all, since all the heavy lifting is now done by this young upstart, libglade. Now I use python and the python libglade bindings to do quick GUIs.
