It appears to me that the version they release outputs at least as much
as the original cdrecord does, which seems to be what the exception in
paragraph 2 section c states as acceptable.
It would be nice if they made it VERY clear that people should not
contact you for support. That does seem to be a problem, although I see
nothing in the GPL (unfortunate really) that deals with that.

Well I haven't tried "dvdrecord" myself, I just stick to cdrecord-prodvd
