Agreed. cdrtools itself is GPL, so he must see what he is doing is wrong. If he balks, you may wish to bring his attention to the clause he recently added in cdrecord/cdrecord.c lines 296-343. Basically, he is upset that companies like SuSE and RedHat create "inofficial branches" and aren't following the GPL. So he really can't complain others aren't following the GPL, if he himself is in violation. Of course, he could argue it's a matter of interpretation. I'll hold off packaging cdrtools, until I hear from you. -Ross

From what I can tell, he hasn't. Corinna, I was able to download ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/win32/cygwin-1.1.8-2-src.tar.gz from his site.

Sorry, but yes. Joerg is providing ProDVD executables for Cygwin for which he doesn't provide the source code, so he's clearly infringing the Cygwin license unless he has a buyout license. From what I can tell, he hasn't. Until that's sorted out, I'll veto the package.
