A number of questions...

Is ReWire an "open" standard - i.e. can I implement ReWire without paying someone?

Are there any open source examples of ReWire participants (or whatever one calls such things)?

Would such a thing as an open source standalone ReWire VST/VSTi wrapper be useful? (I assume Bidule does ReWire - it seems to do everything! - so this is probably already covered...)

ReWire doesn't require a royalty, however ...

Due to the legal aspects of the agreement you need to have a proper, registered company in order to qualify as a ReWire developer. We do not allow private persons, schools or companies in other types of businesses to become licensors.
I think it's highly unlikely there's any open-source examples of ReWire available.

I think the ReWire VST wrapper sounds like a good idea, though, especially in programs which don't support ReWire on their own.
