<br>
CORBA is an open standard published by the OMG (see <a href="http://www.omg.org" target="_blank">www.omg.org</a>). For this standard there are multiple implementations available, some open source, some commercial. It is a project decision which implementation you select. OmniORB is open source, just like TAO, JacORB, R2CORBA, and various others (see <a href="http://www.orbzone.org" target="_blank">http://www.orbzone.org</a> for a list of ORBs). Than there are also commercial implementations, but their market share is decreasing rapidly. These commercial implementations can be expensive, I have seen prices of more than 3,000 euro per runtime CPU license.<br>
<br>
The open source ORBs can be used freely, but there are various companies that deliver commercial services as addition. Through these services the maturity of the open source ORBs can be increased.<br>

Hi i recently read that CORBA commercial implimentation is very costly<br>
and license per a single seat could be quiet heavy. I was hoping someone<br>
could clarify what this means ? As far as i know OmniOrb is open source<br>
and could be used freely. It is kind of a wrapper over the CORBA<br>
architecture am i correct ?? Plus I thought that CORBA was free ??<br>
