He released his source code to the public. It doesn't have any license 
keys, it doesn't have any timebombs (June 17).

You stated one reason to keep cdrecord-prodvd secret is to prevent 
companies to steal the code and put in some closed source application. But 
dvdtools is now there, open source, and anyone can see the "magic code to 
write DVDs".

Is there really any reason to keep cdrecord-prodvd closed source anymore? 
The genie is out of the bottle so to speak.
