These sources that create e.g. the CRC tables are unneeded even in a souce
distrbution. You only need it if you like to modify the code to make it
fit to other applications that use different CRC polynoms...

Well a few days did pass and nothing did happen. Why?

It is interesting to see than Andreas did not even send a single mail.
Is there no real interest to fix up the problem?
Andreas definitely does know that libedc is _not_ GPL. He has the special
permission to use libedc with cdrdao.
The fact that he requested and received this special permission makes it clear
that it _cannot_ be GPL. If it was GPLd code then this special permission
is not needed....
A major problem with cdrdao is that the fact that cdrdao states that the whole
project is GPLd makes authors of other SW believe that libedc is GPLd too.
A senseful reaction from Andreas could be to immediately remove all copies that
include the false claims and publish updated versions (e.g. cdrdao-1.1.5a, ...).
In addition, it would be desirable that Andreas contacts all Authors of related
SW that uses libedc and informs them to fix their licenses too.
When will this hapen?
