It's tempting to say you're an idiot, but it's more polite to say you're
a troll, so I'll say you're a troll.

Cdrecord-Clone-dvd 2.01a27 (i686-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support
Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original.
Note: Please send bug reports or support requests to http://www.suse.de/feedback
Note: The author of cdrecord should not be bothered with problems in this version.
About as clear as can be that SuSE is complying with, as I said before,
your silly whinging about preamble subclause bla bla.
Now that we have established that SuSE is not violating the GPL, do you
have any comments on your own violations?

PS: No normal user looks at the source.
PPS: Some software has an obvious option to spit its version without a
barf.
PPPS: Ever wondered why your pet targets, the kernel developers and
SuSE, seem to be "uncooperative"?
