Nobody is violating a license for distributing cdrtools either in source or in binary form.
If you believe the people who claim that there is a problem, then Ubuntu as a whole would be undistributable as Ubuntu is full of similar constructions. I had a discussion with Till Jaeger (the most well known OSS lawyer) and he confirmed that under the most pessimistic assumptions (that come from people only who do not own Copyright on cdrtools and thus are irrelevant anyway) you may need to use dynamic linking.....to avoid any problems. But let us look at the current situation: Ubuntu is distributing cdrkit that is definitely in conflict with the Copyright http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__14.html because it intentionally introduced bugs to attack my reputation http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__13.html because Copyright signs have been removed It seems that it is Ubunu's intention to be in conflict with the law - is this the reason why Ubuntu does not like to distribute a legal solution based on the original sources? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213215 Title: Please include original cdrecord (cdrtools) package in Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrtools/+bug/213215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
