"---------------------
Folks,
I have been thinking about how to adjust OSGeo4W in particular, and GDAL
in general to make it easier to distribute software in a way that complies
with the conflict between GPLed software and proprietary software.
In the case of OSGeo4W the main restrictions is that we should not be
distributing GRASS in such a way that proprietary drivers like the MrSID
driver can be used without the user having knowingly combined them by
themselves.
To that end, I have prepared an RFC which attempts to address this at
the GDAL driver registration level. I'd appreciate feedback:

Best regards,"
