Although what you say is factually correct I'm surprised that the author of CD and DVD recording software can sound so much like a broken vinyl record. If the inclusion of cdrecord into GPL-strict Linux distros were important to you (I'm assuming it ain't, why should it) you could just GPL it and take the wind out of the stupid Debian maintainers' sails. After all it's you who insists that the CDDL and the GPL are compatible. Personally I don't have much of an opinion, and I couldn't tell the CDDL from the GPL anyway. What I do think is that this issue doesn't deserve the ferocity with which you defend your position, whichever that may be, and that this fruitless discussion has taken on a life of its own. If it were true that the "wodim" maintainers are after hurting you and cdrecord, and that they created some license strawman to support their position it'd be interesting to see what would happen if cdrecord were GPL'ed. Again, I don't care much either way. I'm just puzzled by the amount of time and energy you are willing to waste on this (IMO) non-issue. --D. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
