by that you mean, you do not want to i guess. could you please elaborate why?

the current usage of ecw code (with available & modifiable sources btw.) should 
fall under
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLAndPlugins

ecw code not at all calls anything in oj. so this plugin is not based on gpl'd 
oj code. the java binding btw. is gpl'd by gvsig, the authors.

ok, so we might have to reconsider if we externalize the binaries once again, 
the ecw 3.3 license as far as i see allows that.

sorry, but i have never heard of this agreement, and although i understand what 
you want, i still don't understand why you insist on it. the ecw sdk 3.3 
license clearly allows a usage as we do now. the gpl is fine with a plugin 
usage as well.

thanks ede
