Could _you_ please stop your primitive FUD here? Everyone who reads e.g. http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/77565 knows that this is definitely a campaign against OpenSolaris. > I find it amazing that (1) no one in this thread has read the debian-legal > discussion regarding the removal of cdrecord and the CDDL (2) Joerg has > failed to mention that he's added conditions to cdrecord that forbids > anyone to modify the line(s) and distributed the code and (3) the fact > that Joerg has combined GPL'd and CDDL'd code in cdrecord and expects > Debian to distribute it. You seem to be an agent provotative from Debian and spread obvious lies. The problem with Debian is that they distribute variants from cdrtools that have easy to prove bugs introduced by Debian and that do not behave as documented in the official documentation. Not to your claims: Aprox. 4 years ago, there was a discussion with people from debian about a few parts in cdrtools that may only be modified in case you change the name of the beast. At that time, there have been people at debian who have been able to have rational decisions.....and accepted this as fully DFSG compatible. For the recent license change: I did make clear why there is no problem to distribite this special kind of combination of CDDL & GPL code. In case you carefully listen to Eben Moglen, you will understand why the specific combination used by me is legal although not every possible CDDL/GPL combination is OK. But I am sure, you know this already and only like to put fuel into a fire lit by Debian....
