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.

It's worthwhile saying that the usage of this format is not free in
commercial projects (unless I've read the licence wrong - please correct
me if that's the case Wayne), so that's something to be considered
besides the format itself.
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.
