OK, now I finally got it right: It is about the "scripts". What other people may call makefiles. The scripts and files bundled with your cdrtools to control the build process are under CDDL. E.g. RULES/i686-linux-gcc.rul: #ident "@(#)i586-linux-gcc.rul 1.11 07/05/09 " ########################################################################### # Written 1996 by J.

The fork is based on the disagreement on how the GPL is to be interpreted: 1) linking of GPL and CDDL code. The FSF states that you cannot legally link GPL and CDDL code, but there is no word about linking in the GPL. 2) about the license of makefiles. The distribution which first excluded cdrtools, insisted on the fact, that all makefiles had to be under GPL to distribute it. This is a corrlation of two unrelated clauses in the GPL. I therfor behold this interpretation of GPL as wrong, and urge you to use the orginal as it has more features, and also advise all binary distributors to contact their lawyers to verify my opinion, as I have done. This so called problem definitely does not apply for all source based distributions (e.g. Gentoo). So there is no problem to use the original." Put some links in it, maybe with quotings of some resonable people, thus not you! An also not a link to your awfull page http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html This should be all about the issue; no insults, no conspiracy theories, no discussions about freedom with me. It is not for your cause... If your software is superior, than you should not have to insult any other people. Let your software speak. Like you said in the debian bugreport: "Der Ton macht die Musike" saying "This feature is only implemented in the orginal, use this and your problem is gone." gets far mor people on your side than "Your are using a software implemented by dorks, full of bugs and they dared to mess with my beloved code." Peaceful Sebastian, which still resides on the FSF and Debian way of seeing things. And remember: there will always be people that have another, even contrary, opinion than yours. Try to convince them, and not insult them. -- " Religion ist das Opium des Volkes. " Karl Marx [EMAIL PROTECTED]@N GÜNTHER mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
