You are free to sponsor the development and maintainance of such a tool.
You are free as well to pay for the ECW licence.
You are free to put pressure on ERDAS for them to make ECW available as 
opensource and allow its distribution
You are free to explain to your data provider that offering data in proprietary 
formats is a bad idea
You are free to finance a new open wavelet compression format
