This may be more than you want to bite off, but you should have a look at
the Orfali/Harkey/Edwards book "Essential Guide to Distributed Components"
which does a good job of explaining OpenDoc, OLE, and CORBA.

 | What are the licensing terms for the code?

The licensing terms are pretty simple: you join CI Labs and you can license
the code. Subscriber membership is $350 per year. To deliver a commercial
product you must pass a validation suite to ensure interoperability.

For more information about membership and licensing send email to
info@cilabs.org.
