Hello,
Sorry, I am too silly to read, the different parts of cdrtools have
different licenses, mkisofs is GPLv2 and cdrecord has this:
|-----------------------------
| This software is under GPL with the following limitations:
|
|
| - You may not modify certain copyright messages in cdrecord.c
|
| See cdrecord.c for further information.
|
|
| - You may (with a few exceptions) not modify the location of the
| configuration file /etc/default/cdrecord.
|
| See defaults.c for further information.
|
|
| - The fact that cdrecord is linked against libedc_ecc does not
| make libedc_ecc licensed under GPL. Section 2 of the GPL does
| not apply in this special case.
|
| If you create a work derived from cdrecord, you may not ship
| this derived work with libedc_ecc.
