[Geomoose-users] ECW Support

[Len Kne]

I should have added that I've seen good performance using MrSID and TIF instead of ECW files.

Yes, I believe it was in 5.6.1 or MS4W 3.0.  Erdas has changed their license policy and now requires anyone using ECW files to have a license.  A license is not needed for non-commercial use, but the license specifically defines governments as commercial use.  You can get all the details by following this thread: http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2037

Does anyone know if support for ECW imagery has been removed from Mapserver?  I ran GDALINFO --FORMATS at a command line and ECW is not listed.
