Orca are programmed using ATK and at-spi API, both open
standards. These are the ones most used in Linux systems.

Entity of reference? What kind of data it is required to protect?
Protect against ? Could you ellaborate this questions?

I don't understand this question. This is a mailing list for users and
developers of Orca, in summary Orca community. Right now Orca it isn't
a company or entity, so it can't provide subsidies.

Anyway, if you are asking if Orca has any help in order to get the
program cheaper to people without resources, take into account that as
most free (free as in freedom) software programs, it is free (free as
without cost). You can download current stable release [1], or
directly get the code [2], or use any Linux distribution with GNOME
(Ubuntu, Vinux, etc).

You can download the current stable release (gnome 2-30) of orca from
gnome repository [1]. As you can see, the last update was made on
21-June-2010. You can get the current in-development source code from
the git repository [2].

Anyway, usually people uses orca version included with the Linux
distribution they use (ie: Ubuntu, Vinux, OpenSuse) etc. Which version
of Orca they are using depends on each distribution.

Anyway, current Orca maintainer, Joanmarie Digss would be able to
answer your questions with more accuracy.
