For this release, the GDAL provider distributed with MapGuide Open Source is relatively recent (1.4.4) and works well. However, ECW and MrSID formats have unfortunate licensing terms from an open source perspective, and we can't distribute them from an OSGeo server.
Fortunately, Frank Warmerdam has taken on the task of building and distributing these plug-ins for GDAL, so at least we have a solution. My personal hope is that these companies eventually see the benefits of open sourcing at least the decoder portions of their formats under licenses that are compatible with open source projects. ECW had a just-about-there license, but the license terms changed earlier this year.
