You are correct to a degree tom. The official encoders/decoders
are free for none profit use.

but the specification is open to all to use and create there own
encoder/decoders with. There will be alot more content on the site
soon to aid with the process.

I am hoping to list both official and user created content on the
entity site also.

Regards
Wayne IV Mike.

 Although it appears to be legal to write an alternative non-restricted codec 
 for it, and release it as FOSS.
 TBH, if transfer overhead is so critical, you might be off moving to a binary 
 format; this can be as simple as gzip'ing the format of choice or moving all 
 the way up to LCDS/BlazeDS.

It is also important to note that the aim of such text based formats
are to keep them human readable. binary does not suit this requirement.

 Hi all,
 I want to introduce you to a new lightwieght format
 called ENTITY. it is smaller than XML and JSON.
 
 And is also quicker to generate and parse. You can 
 check it out at: http://www.entity-format.co.uk
 
 Its early days, and i only went live with the project
 yesterday but more ports will be coming and alot more
 content for the site.
 
 Kind Regards
