his website about wodim ao. am a kind of practical. found out that
schily's latest beta of cdrecord on my machine gives unsurmountable
problems: destroyed without a warning two brandnew cdroms. the last
point is the immediate reason for asking.
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.
You gave the answer yourself. I don't know about cdrecord vs wodim etc.,
but what Schily writes about debian is plainly not true. He changed the
license to be incompatible with DFSG, so debian didn't have another
choice but to fork.
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.

hi jörg,
you pop up like a 'deus ex machina'
i did and do not doubt your words on your website without exclusive
proof that they are wrong. yet you must understand this 'medal has two
sides' (dutch proverb)
do not make me out for a liar without any proof from your side. in
intended to send you a bugreport after conclusive trials: i still do
*when i have time*: i am a working man with a rather large family.
my sympathy for you: for all the woek you have done in the past is not
diminished. but please do not pursue on this needlessly agressive line.
i admit it would have been more elegant to inform you first of the two
flipped cdrom's.
regards,
steef
