Here is an excerpt from the Microsoft ActiveVRML summary:

Microsoft anticipates that it will release a reference
implementation in object and source code form. Microsoft
expects to license this code in the following manner: (i) the
object code may be reproduced and used without restriction
or charge; and (ii) the source code may be reproduced and
used for educational, non-commercial and internal use
without charge, and for commercial use at a commercially
reasonable charge.

Looks like they are going to CHARGE if you use their ActiveVRML. Doesn't sound too open to me.
