OTOY is contributing the ORBX container and render graph system to MPEG I part 2 at MPEG 120 as a'tier 1'license (equivalent to MIT license). Paid licenses and patents IMO should not be in the baseline minimal schema/scene graph system, or we will never get to a truly open metaverse. I made as strong a case as I could that plenty of value and IP can still be implemented as services or modules on top of such open framework whenever this issue came up at MPEG 119 last month.

Here is one of the two ORBX docs from MPEG 119, the other (which has the full container schema) I'll post shortly.
