just minor correction in your letter, Chris is "Product" manager for ECW
Just as I note, they have Read Only version of the SDK and also have few other editions; ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK is offered as four different editions: - *ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK Server Read-Write* provides tools to enable server applications to read ECW, ECWP, and JPEG2000 data, serve ECW and JPEG2000 data, and compress images into the ECW and JPEG2000 data formats. - *ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK Server Read-Only* provides tools to enable end-user server applications to read ECW, ECWP and JPEG2000 data and serve ECW and JPEG2000 data via third-party server applications. For ESRI ArcGIS Server customers, please refer to ECW for ArcGIS Server<http://geospatial.intergraph.com/products/other/ecw/ECW_for_ArcGIS_Server/Details.aspx> . - *ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK Desktop Read-Write* provides tools to enable desktop applications to read ECW, ECWP and JPEG2000 and compress images into ECW and JPEG2000 data formats. - *ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK Desktop Read-Only* is a free product that provides tools to enable desktop applications to read ECW, ECWP and JPEG2000. Since this is a major shift from the 3.3 SDK which allowed WRITE function upto 500MB, we could use without much of a problem. After hexagon, there has been lot of changes and also the licensing of SDK. At the moment, for GDAL and well and general QGIS user, what we are looking at is, DESKTOP READ ONLY SDK where by users could use ECW files in QGIS. So, we need to be very specif about this. They will never allow GDAL or anyone else to use the library for ECW Serving function, without $$$$$. So, dont even bother to ask. So, with GDAL, we should make a point to mark ECW as Read only format.
