Mats,
There are usually two sides to every story - especially where
lawyers are involved! We covered both sides in an October 15
news story at http://www.directionsmag.com/news.asp?NewsID=47

Subject: Re: MI ECW and Mapinfo News
Hi All!
I'd like to add that this ECW seens to be a matter of some dispute,
since Lizardtech, owners of MrSID technology on October 7 sued Earth
Resources Mapping for Patent infringement.
Quote:
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, alleges that
Earth
Resources Mapping's ("ERM") image compression software known as
"ECW," which is integrated in ERM's ER Mapper 6.0 geospatial image
processing software, infringes on LizardTech's patent for MrSID™
technology.
