These are not rants. I referred to a real problem as Sun is _very_ careful about license issues, Sun asked for a permission to distribute growisofs. At the same time (May 2006 IIRC), I ave been informed that Sun started to distribute cdrtools including DVD support. Because Sun is very careful about license issues, Sun e.g. stopped distributing libcdio in Auhust 2007 (Sun's Lawyers discovered that libcdio, being an official FSF project, is in conflict with the GPL). BTW: In a few weeks we will have a portable and legal replacement for libcdio in Solaris for playing audio CDs that works by calling a pipe to "cdda2wav -interactive". > Anyway, the above quoted note openly admits that original note was > poorly formulated and clarification was provided.
