Mapserver and ECW SDK license

[Steve Lime]

Our conversations with ERMapper on the subject indicate that they
realize there's a
problem with the license and they will be ammending it. So cross your
fingers...

I was reading the license because I wanted to bundle
the ECW SDK with something, and it's pretty specific
and repetitive about a few points, one of them being:

- the ECW SDK cannot be used to provide functionality
on any computer that acts as a server

This seems to me to pretty clearly make it not usable
by MapServer, even if you didn't plan to redistribute
your copy.
