The MusicBrainz Server is an open source GPL licensed software application that is written in Perl. The MusicBrainz Server provides the primary interface to the MusicBrainz Database by providing a website for users to browse and edit the data on, and a web service to power client applications like MusicBrainz Picard. The server can be accessed at http://musicbrainz.org/ or alternatively you may setup and run your own server.
If you are looking for help in understanding how MusicBrainz works the beginners guide and FAQs will provide a more thorough overview.
