I'm pretty sure the one in cdrkit is real. Either that or I'm only |
| 18 |
imagining that I burned and used my last rescue CD. *boggle* |

Just to be clear, cdrkit is a fork off of an older version of cdrtools that |
| 23 |
was made because Debian doesn't believe cdrtools to be distributable by |
| 24 |
anyone other than the copyright holder since parts are licensed under the |
| 25 |
GPL and parts are under the (GPL-incompatible) CDDL. The issue is further |
| 26 |
since the work isn't from an single author (contributions licensed under |
| 27 |
the GPL from others have been integrated) AND at least one party involved |
| 28 |
believes the GPL and CDDL to be compatible. |

That doesn't make cdrkit less real, but it does mean that you'll probably |
| 31 |
have fewer issues using cdrtools. (I use cdrkit and have never had any |
| 32 |
problems with it; YMMV.) |
