FLICK stands for "Flexible IDL Compiler Kit". This is not an ORB; it's an optimizing IDL compiler.
Flick is the flexible interface definition language (IDL) compiler from the University of Utah. What sets Flick apart from other IDL compilers is that it is highly optimizing while also supporting several IDLs, message formats, and transport mechanisms.

ISP C++ ORB is a tool for development of distributed software. ORB plays the role of communicator between different components of distributed applications which can run on the different platforms.

LuaOrb is a binding between the interpreted language Lua and CORBA. As usual, this binding defines mappings between Lua and IDL types. However, unlike other bindings, LuaOrb relies on the reflexive facilities of CORBA and the dynamic nature of Lua.
