In your message you use the words "Open Code", "Open Group" and "Open
Source" as if they were synonymous. They are not. AFAIK, there is no
implementation of DCOM that is open source. Mozilla has an implementation
of a small subset of COM that is open source, however.

I don't know what "open code" means but paying $3500.00 for a source
license does not strike as very open.
