Basically, if you build a viewer, you can't include KDU in it, unless
you have a license to do so. Assuming that you *do* have a license to do
so, you cannot then distribute that viewer to any other person unless it
is allowed by that license.
Linden Lab doesn't - insofar as I am aware - have a license that allows
it to distribute any of the code to us or to anyone else - therefore,
any viewer you build based off the code-base that supports static KDU
linkage can't be built - by you or me or anyone - to include KDU
statically, unless you've purchased a license from Kakadu.
tl;dr: No KDU for you, unless you pay Kakadu for it. You will have to
build with an alternative JPG2K library, otherwise.

A question about the static KDU issue. I believe this means that when
I do a build on my local machine, I do NOT have a KDU license. Is
that true? Or, do I somehow inherit rights from Linden Lab?
