Free software authors like me unfortunately need to live with useless claims 
like this one :-(

The fact that the person did not give _any_ hint on what happened makes 
his claim extremely unreliable/unbelievable.

Just compare

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrtools/

with

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit

to understand realiability of cdrtools and cdrkit.

I am of course _always_ open to real bug reports.....
This can be verified that Ubuntu currently has not a single bug against
cdrecord. Bug # 13729  is a Linux kernel bug and all other bugs listed
for cdrtools are going to be closed in a week as they are related to
bugs that have been fixed within the last year but not been verified again
on Ubuntu.

This is another lie that is often spread....

The CDDL is a free software license that gives more freedom than the GPL does 
and it is definitely accepted even by Debian.
