This is not a QGIS GPL thing. It's related to GDAL. gdal-ecw is built against the ecw libs and we just have to ship them with QGIS so GDAL can find them. The GDAL licence allows this and Intergraph allows you to ship the ECW read-only libs as long as you show their EULA for them in your application. For us this will be shown on install and in the about dialog.
