Re: [gdal-dev] GDAL scripting with Python 2.5 (on windows)

Frank,

By the way, about this bold text *This DSDK is not free software, you should contact LizardTech to obtain it (see 
link at end of this page).* on http://www.gdal.org/frmt_mrsid.html Is that current? I believe that LizardTech 
changed the terms of that DSDK license. Did they?

Regards,

Ivan
