| 5 | I completely agree. In fact, Fedora Development also had to revert this change |
| 6 | due to the same licensing issues a couple of weeks ago. (See the thread spawned |
| 7 | from the 20060817 rawhide report [1].) |

| 9 | There are also the dvdrtools [2] fork of it as well as libburn [3] (which, as I |
| 10 | understand it, has a bunch of wrapper scripts to be able to interpret and |
| 11 | implement various of its functionality, thus (mostly) suitable a drop-in |
| 12 | replacement for cdrtools. |
