+	  omniORB is a robust high performance CORBA ORB for C++ and Python.
+	  omniORB is largely CORBA 2.6 compliant. omniORB is one of only
+	  three ORBs to have been awarded the Open Group's Open Brand for
+	  CORBA. This means that omniORB has been tested and certified
+	  CORBA compliant, to version 2.1 of the CORBA specification.
