Wayne,

ODB++ is now "open".
http://www.odb-sa.com/resources

(You just have to register a simple account that does not require an NDA).

But yes the shitty part is this:
"Download of the ODB++ Specification does not grant a license to
develop software interfaces based on the format specification. We
openly encourage users to apply for a license to develop ODB++-based
software as a Solutions Development Partner within the ODB++ Solutions
Alliance at www.odb-sa.com"

Though they argue they have never rejected anyone for a license but we
could always test that hehe.

Regards,
Mark
