I am sorry to read this from you. From the discussions we did have in the past,
I know that you know that this is not true.
There is a lot of FUD that has been spread by some GPL bigots but I am still
waiting for an explanation on why there should be a license problem in cdrtools.
The real problem with the people who started this speudo fork is not license
based but it is that they are not willing to cooperate in a quality based way.
This personal problem of these people is used to drive an anti-CDDl campaign
but you cannot work against this campaign by starting to talk about the GPLv3.
The right way to answer this FUD campaign is to inform people about the CDDL.
