You will have to discuss this with the FSF which endorses libcdio as part of its OS software. I am not your enemy and i do not support any infringement of your rights. But your legal quarrels with other open source projects are your private affair, not mine. libburnia-project.org does not distribute libcdio but rather is ready to link to it for the purpose of SCSI command transport. I am very sure that the used libcdio interface is not stemming from cdrtools. I conclude this from the fact that the sense reply was not fowarded from libcdio driver to the library core resp. to the application. Further, the Linux driver was not functional with payload direction "to drive". No Bus,Target,Lun addresses to see anywhere. Rocky Bernstein, the author of libcdio, allowed me to make the necessary changes in libcdio core and in the drivers for Linux and FreeBSD. He fulfilled the cumbersome task to revise them and to bring them into an appropriate form. libburn system adapter sg-libcdio can now get the needed SCSI services from there: Drive listing, drive accessing, SCSI command transport, BTL address retrieval. Other OS drivers of libcdio still wait for this augmentation, which is not overly complicated. The bottleneck is rather to find testers who run some of those other systems for which libcdio got drivers. I got empty partitions on the disk of the new libburnia OS farm machine. 64 bit AMD Athlon II X4 620. Any proposals other than Linux and FreeBSD ?
