There is absolutely no doubt that SuSE is violating GPL.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.

Is very explicit and unabigouous.
As I receive many mails that state cdrecord is defective (which is not true
for the original cdrecrod but for the patched by SuSE cdrecord) there is no way
to deny the GPL violation from SuSE.
Instead of writing mails like the above one, it would help more if you would
come up with suggestions how to force SuSE to follow the GPL again.
