It's similar to a software license for running MS Office on your home computer. You have to pay a licensing fee to run the EcuTek software ROM on your ECU. So the tuner then charges a tuning fee for the map that they have built that works with the EcuTek ROM. That's probably the biggest disadvantage of EcuTek. It's a proprietary software so the cost is higher than an open source solution. BRZedit seems to have a cheaper licensing model (although very limited tuner support) and Unichip doesn't have a licensing fee although you have to buy their hardware.
