Mr. Glaubitz is well known to spread hostile personal attacks at various places. just search for "glaubitz" or "cbmuser".
Matteo, your assessment was right. People with a real objection would be able to verify their claims. As you can read in comment #46, the problem was initiated by two people at Debian that do not act in a social way and started personal attacks and attacks against the cdrtools project in May 2004. This ended in an unverified claim of suposed legal problems in cdrtools. In Summer 2008, Mark Shuttleworth proposed a plan to work around the Debian initated problem but later in 2008, he made it obvious that he will never honour his promise. What may help is the fact that currently three companies made a full legal review for cdrtools and all as a result decided to include the original cdrtools in their distro. The last company that made a full legal review was SuSe (in Autumn 2013). As a result, SuSe now includes cdrtools again even though there have been several anonymous threats from Debian people (those people could be de-anonymized) in the bug tracking system from SuSe. The Linux distros that still do not ship cdrtools are distros that did never ask a specialized lawywer. BTW: libburnia is still not supporting all features that cdrtools supported 10 years ago. -- 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/linuxmint/+bug/213215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
