Background:
ECW is a prioprietary (patented) compressed image format quite used in
GIS applications. Ermapper recently released its SDK under a multi-license
here included.
It would be nice distributing under non-free at least some programs with
ecw support enabled (mainly gdal which is X/MIT licensed, other programs
could use gdal support to read/write ECW files, in some cases they are GPL).
Both free and public licenses are quite complicated...
