If instead of using compressed ECW images as input for MapServer WMS you had GeoWebCache in front of MapServer which means that the WMS input is cached tiled png's instead of ECW images from MapServer.Then I think that you get around the ECW SDK license agreement, Correct??? Thanks, John On

Does a JPEG2000 created by ER Mapper/ECW also require licensing like an ECW format file when used by MapServer? Thanks, John On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 12:15 PM, Gregor Mosheh gre...@hostgis.com wrote: 1. Can we use our compressed ECW images as input for MapServer WMS? 2. Can we use ECW as an

Hi, I know that I can use ECW format with MapServer both as input and output. What I cannot figure out is if I am allowed to do so. Reading the document ECW/JP2 CODEC SDK End-User License Agreement that I found from the still existing ER Mapper download page does not help me a bit. We can create
