Aaargh! :-(
I was hoping this problem had been fixed...
I pointed out this very issue on debian-legal back in September _2004_:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/09/msg00003.html
Steve McIntyre stated that cdrtools should have been forked from a
version prior to the license "clarifications":
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/09/msg00009.html
I thought that this was going to happen soon, and then had no more time
to follow the issue.
Now I see that the issue is still there! :-((
How can such a package still be in main with this non-freeness?
I'm surprised that nobody filed a serious bug for this...

ITYM dvd+rw-tools, since dvdrtools is in non-free too...
