Autodesk has introduced RealDWG 2006 - a developer toolkit - for reading and writing AutoCAD DWG and DXF files. This product is a replacement for their ObjectDBX technology.
Autodesk says
Autodesk RealDWG, built on the native DWG libraries from AutoCAD software, minimizes the risks of design document corruption or errors in drawing files, and assures application developers that their products will produce true DWG 2004 and DWG 2000 formats. Products using Autodesk RealDWG will enable users to share drawing files with confidence even if project team members have not upgraded to the latest release of Autodesk software
RealDWG enables developers to create stand alone applications using DWG as the file format, and is claimed to be used internally by Autodesk to provide DWG support in non-Autocad based products such as Inventor
They do NOT plan to license RealDWG to direct competitors
