cdda2wav code in libcdio is only for its paranoia library. When we became aware of the mixing of licenses, the paranoia portion was split off from libcdio and put into a separate package and the two packages have separate licenses.
So again and more specifically, libcdio version 0.90 from Oct 27, 2012 does not have any paranoia or cdda2wav code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-ugly0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181244 Title: libcdio GPL/license violation Status in “gst-plugins-ugly0.10” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: There are two serious problems with libcdio: 1) The license text has been changed from "GPL v2 only" to "GPLv2 or any later" without permission from the real Authors of the code the library is based on. 2) libcdio is GPL but is is called from libgstreamer (being LGPL) GPL and LGPL are not compatible. GPL code may not be called from non-GPL code. The LGPL allows to "solve" the conflict between GPL and LGPL by giving the permission to relicense the LGPL code under GPL. While this may work for a small project, it is not an applicable solution for an OS distribution as libgstreamer would then be 100% GPL only on Ubuntu. BTW: This license problem has been discovered by Sun lawyers. Sun did already remove libcdio from Solaris Expresss.
