So should I try to patch 0.6.3 to work on big endian? I’d rather not but if we can’t proceed with 0.6.2 I guess I have to try. Is the code actually invalid GPL due to the Apple code? NetBSD is hosting dist files containing the Apple code so is it ok? License newbie, thanks for your patience. Here is where I found cdirip 0.6.2 originally on that gnome related mirror https://ftp.gnome.org/mirror/archive/ftp.sunet.se/pub/mac/fink/?C=M;O=A (warning very slow) . Here’s the original site on archive.org https://web.archive.org/web/20050706012759/http://cdirip.cjb.net:80/ The original SourceForge page https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdimagetools/files/CDIRip/
