Let me repeat again: The maintainer of libcdio admits that libcdio contains code from cdda2wav and the code crom cdda2wav is available under GPLv2-only or under CDDL but not under different licenses. Note: this is an official statement from the cdda2wav author.
BTW: This is not the only software where the FSF intentionally ignores legal rules. It took me 10 years and the help from Suse to finally convince the FSF to make vcdimager a legal program. An additional problem with libcdio is that is gets called from GNOME via LGPL libraries. Calling GPLd code from non-GPLd code is not legally possible. This is why the Sun legal department decided in 2006 already, to bann libcdio from their distribution and replaced it by a new library that is based on the original cddfa2wav code. This new solution is fully legal and gives even better audio extraction properties. So why is Ubunto not interested in being legal and still distributes a non-legal solution even though alegal alternative exists? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181244 Title: libcdio GPL/license violation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-ugly0.10/+bug/181244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
