Mr. Bloch started several attacks against the cdrtools project and he did this |
| 20 |
in an extremely unfair way. He spread unproven and untrue claims about cdrtools. |

If I was not informed about the background I may have thought in a similar way. |

But please tell me what you would do if you have been attacked in an unfair way? |

It is usual not to believe unproven claims, but why do so many people believe |
| 31 |
the unproven claims from Mr. Bloch? The problem with all the attacks was that |
| 32 |
the people around Mr. Bloch spread vague unproven claims as usual in |
| 33 |
calumniation campaigns. When asked to prove their claims, they either started |
| 34 |
with new vague attacks or stopped answering. This would not be a problem if |
| 35 |
people would not believe unproven claims..... |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The real reason behind the attacks from Mr. Bloch is missing will for |
| 38 |
cooperation. As he did not like this to be in relation with his name, he started |
| 39 |
to spread the fairy tale about "license problems". |

Interestingly, Eben Moglen (law professor) says that what cdrtools do is OK in |
| 42 |
general. Lawyers asked by distributors of the original cdrtools say that there |
| 43 |
is no problem in special. Some people still believe the "legal opinion" from a |
| 44 |
laymen like Mr. Bloch. |

You cannot rely on the fork because it is full of bugs that never have been |
| 51 |
in the original software and because no bugs are fixed since nearly 6 months. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
You cannot rely on it because it has been initiated by people who attack free |
| 54 |
software. |
