I agree with michael on this issue. We shouldn't include the ECW DLL with the
main OJ distro.

Subject: [JPP-Devel] ecw licensing is no issue
Date: Fri, Oct 7, 2011 1:46 pm
Hi,
First of all, thanks for great explanation, especially from Ede and Jukka.
As this is time for decision, I will give my vote :
- a core distribution of OJ excluding ermapper dll
(which means also NB without these dll)
- a rich distribution (-s) bundled with plugins including ecw dll
My reasons
- license : you all convinced me there are "probably" no license issue
however, we cannot get these dll from erdas can we ? Until we get
dll+license or a clear agreement from erdas, I'm not 100% confident.
- opensource : I feel that OJ has to play a (humble) role in opensource
promotion. I would say open standard like wkt, gml or jp2 must be
native datasources for openJUMP whilst close format like ecw must just
be made possible (if possible). I cannot imagine that the wide
adoption of
ecw is not related to the slow adoption of jp2.
- modularity : I also think that keeping a small core version of OpenJUMP
with few dependencies is a good exercice for the software scalability.
The only reason we have to include all capabilities in the main
distribution
is that we don't have a good plugin manager.
That said, we are not too many contributors to keep OJ alive, so that I'll
be happy to adopt what the majority decide.
Michaël
