The format is available to any software company, for free with no restrictions on license. It is the decision of the product managers for each software to include GeoTIFF capability in the geographic data management products which they sell. Many systems today can read GeoTIFF files into correct geographic position in a variety of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Image Processors (IP) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) softwares. You need to check with your system provider to find out if they have written the software module to read/write GeoTIFF imagery in the software version which you use.
