To answer your question Miss B the FBX SDK is freely available from Autodesk to developer's similar to the Poser or Daz Studio SDK are available for developers to create add-ons and or plug ins. If I am not mistaken the and I can be really off on this Blender does a good job importing FBX that predate 2011 or 2016 which is around the time that Autodesk started making major upgrades to the FBX format with the list below of the different versions of FBX you use to have to use the Autodesk FBX Converter between these versions because one version was more optimized for XNA or XSI as well as Maya's FBX was totally different than 3DS Max's this one reason OBJ were the got to format but OBJ is limited in what information will export and import and scale is always an issue. Hope this info helps some
