Can anyone confirm if all you indeed need is the FGDB API SK from Esri and OGR >= 1.9.0 for read/write to FGDBs and NOT a ArcView license as well? I'll try disconnecting from our Esri license server and give it a go, but confirmation from someone not consuming the Esri koolaid would be nice.

@ChadCooper, see Can Esri's file geodatabase API be redistributed?. (and I updated the answer to include Osgeo4w's package)

@ChadCooper yes. The gdal/ogr-arcobjects driver requires the esri license, the gdal/ogr-filegdb does not require any license.
