In general, it's not a new idea; software companies have long sold expensive authoring software for their free viewer programs. Shockwave, Flash, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Viewpoint have all tried to use this business model for browser plug-ins. However, it's the most direct attempt I've seen to apply the business model to an already open standard.
Installs as a plugin, whereas JebGL http://code.google.com/p/jebgl/ is a java applet. JebGL has to use software rendering without OpenGL so perf probably aint so hot in IE... whereas it appears the IEWebGL guys have the perf situation under control

Also it looks like their plugin adds Typed Arrays to IE8's JScript engine. handy.

It looks really good though, webgl is definitely starting to become a viable target platform, despite all the hysteria
