ThinkGeo.Gdal.Dependency.Windows
================================
This NuGet package redistributes prebuilt GDAL 3.11.3 native binaries and
the third-party libraries that GDAL depends on, sourced from the GDAL
build artifacts produced by gisinternals.com (Copyright (c) Tamas
Szekeres). The packaging metadata, MSBuild .targets, and
ThinkGeo-authored content are released under the MIT License.
The redistributed native DLLs come from many upstream projects that are
each licensed under their own terms. By using this package you agree to
comply with all of the licenses below for any DLLs you actually load at
runtime.

4. Proprietary read-only SDK plugins
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following DLLs in this package are NOT open source. They are
vendor-distributed SDKs included so that GDAL can dynamically load them
as raster format plugins. The vendors offer free read/decode licenses
that cover the read-only functionality used by ThinkGeo. Encoding,
writing, or other extended functionality typically requires a separate
paid license; please review the current terms with each vendor before
using those features.
- gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll, NCSEcw.dll
Hexagon (formerly ERDAS) ECW/JP2 SDK.
Free for read/decode use under Hexagon's ECW/JP2 SDK license.
Encoding and certain commercial server scenarios require a
paid license.
https://supportsi.hexagon.com/help/s/erdas-ecw-jp2-sdk
- gdal_MrSID.dll, lti_dsdk_9.5.dll, lti_lidar_dsdk_1.1.dll
Extensis (formerly LizardTech) MrSID Decode SDK (DSDK) and
Lidar / MG4 Decode SDK.
Free for decode use under Extensis's DSDK license; encoding
requires the commercial GeoExpress product.

By using these plugins you agree to the corresponding vendor's
end-user license terms linked above. If your application uses any
write or encode functionality with these formats, confirm that your
deployment is covered by the vendor's terms (and acquire a paid
license if required).
