Open source doesn't mean royalty free (though I have no idea if this format would be royalty-bearing).

There are open source implementations of various MPEG and JPEG codecs, but they still carry a licensing fee to use them. Most people who don't use Linux don't realize this (installing Linux and trying to deal with av codecs is a quick education in the difference).

ORBX framework should be like Lua or luaJIT -i.e. MIT license. What is built or done on top of that and how it's licensed to others is up to the creator or implementer to decide, assuming they have such rights already.
