Does a JPEG2000 created by ER Mapper/ECW also require licensing like an ECW format file when used by MapServer?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>John<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 12:15 PM, Gregor Mosheh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gregor@hostgis.com">gregor@hostgis.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

1. Can we use our compressed ECW images as input for MapServer WMS?<br>
2. Can we use ECW as an output format for MapServer WCS?<br>

The license agreement says that the ECW SDK cannot be used "on a server" then goes on to define that as a computer connected to the Internet which provides images. I'd say that clearly rules out MapServer consuming ECW. Very unfortunate, but in my opinion very clear.<br>
<br>
In my tests, I have found that JPEG2000 and ECW are really too slow for production use anyway. Maybe that's some "sour grapes" consolation? :)<br>
