Thanks for the answer and great work! So you need individual approval from ESRI for redistribution?

For the OSGeo4W case, I wanted to have it up asap so people could use it. So I e-mailed people at ESRI directly and the e-mail thread trickled to the right person. However, as far as I understand, they are revising the legal wording so it is more clear. The intention was for people to use it and include it. However, it is clear that the legal wording says otherwise. Sort of shows how things work in a large corporation :) It is a matter of time before it gets revised and updated appropriately.

@KirkKuykendall AFAIK from the e-mail thread I had, the intention is 'yes'. Nevertheless, the best course of action for non-osgeo4w usages is to post the question in the forum.

I just downloaded the setup exe and installed it. After running 'ogr2ogr --formats', I do not see FGDB support listed.
