Please provide a link to Mr. Moglen's opinion.  That would clear
things right up.

Everyone here is interested in facts.  You've been presenting your
layman's legal opinion (ie; not legal advice).  Folks have been
posting the advice of lawyers (ie; can be construed as legal advice).

The solution to your problem rests in your hands.  Obviously, no
matter how right you may be, your arguments are falling on deaf ears.
It doesn't matter that you feel the GPL and CDDL are compatible.  It
doesn't matter that Eben Moglen may have privately told you that they
are compatible.  They are generally accepted as incompatible and so
... they are.

The solution is obvious, relicense cdrtools in a way that is generally
accepted as GPL compatible.  Until you are willing and able to do so,
you're wasting everyone's time (including your own).  Which do you
prefer to enjoy?  Your "rightness" in the face of the world telling
you that you are wrong or having the world at large enjoy using
software you have created?

Again, the solution is in your hands.
