Libecat is fairly widely used and certainly non-free.  The ECAT7
codes[1] from STIR[2] may be an alternative, but I have never
looked into replacing libecat with it.  As I read it, the ECAT6
parts or STIR are still under the restrictive CTI license
(non-comercial use only), but the ECAT7 parts of STIR are
licenced under GPL and/or PARAPET[3].  

I do not have a good idea of how many imaging systems are still
active that use ECAT6.  There are certainly some using ECAT7, so
ECAT7 support is quite important.  In fact, I use non-free
versions of (x)medcon because ecat support is so vital.
