I think it is in here:

http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html

specifically (quote):


        In fact, this happened around y2004. I received a patch that was
        intended to add UTF-8 support to mkisofs.

        Unfortunately, the code quality of this patch was lousy. It
        tried to incorrectly initialize a structure and it handled only
        a few obvious cases. Many important issues with UTF-8 support
        have been completely ignored. As a result, I rejected this patch
        because I do care about code quality (I still need to be able to
        maintain the code in a few years). The people in the Linux
        distribution could have fixed the problems and created a useful
        solution but they did not do this.

        Now these people have been in trouble and needed an excuse for
        their behavior. They created the fairy tale that there is a
        license problem in cdrtools. They created a network of
        "cooperation" and supported some people which created a fork of
        cdrtools based on the fairy tale.....
