1. Can we use our compressed ECW images as input for MapServer WMS?
2. Can we use ECW as an output format for MapServer WCS?

The license agreement says that the ECW SDK cannot be used "on a server" then goes on to define that as a computer connected to the Internet which provides images. I'd say that clearly rules out MapServer consuming ECW. Very unfortunate, but in my opinion very clear.

In my tests, I have found that JPEG2000 and ECW are really too slow for production use anyway. Maybe that's some "sour grapes" consolation? :)
