[Fedora-legal-list] Legal CD/DVD/BD writing software for RedHat and Fedora

[Ciaran O'Riordan]

I know nothing about this story :-) but I happen to remember a part of the
original debate back in 2006, so for context here it is:
http://lwn.net/Articles/198171/

The licence issue referred to, AFAICT, is that Joerg Schilling changed
cdrtools from GPL to CDDL (in 2006) so someone (Debian?) launched cdrkit
because GPL compatibility was seen as possibly essential (for combination
with other GPL'd packages) and surely something worth keeping (among other
reasons).

back to lurking...
