[Qgis-user] Qgis-user Digest, Vol 90, Issue 51

[Nathan Woodrow]

This is not a QGIS GPL thing. It's related to GDAL.  gdal-ecw is built
against the ecw libs and we just have to ship them with QGIS so GDAL can
find them.  The GDAL licence allows this and Intergraph allows you to ship
the ECW read-only libs as long as you show their EULA for them in your
application.  For us this will be shown on install and in the about dialog.
