[Qgis-developer] Mrsid business

Reading threw several threads it kept coming up and I thought I'd try to
clarify from what I know.

MrSID is free to use, as with many linux distro's it's not part of the
defualt build of say gdal because it's not open source. But it is indeed
free just like acrobat or flash or an of those "non-free" apps.
This is what I understand from listening to MPG who I believe works for
lizardtech (which is an OSGeo sponsor).

Maybe we can offer up a 2nd build via launchpad for the "non-free"
version of gdal build with support turned on.
