ActiveX is proprietary, and you must license it from Microsoft before you can add support for it into your product.
No it's not, in fact Microsoft handed ownership of the spec over to the Open Group many years ago.
As a practical matter, though, ActiveX is pretty much a Windows-only technology. And it's a known security nightmare, so even Microsoft is trying to get away from it.
