Re: Support for Lightscribe devices?

[JOhn ROss POrter <joropo@pioneerwireless.net>]

Thanks for reply.  Your answer(s) were in direct compliance with my 
expectations.  I am fully familiar with the open-source nature of linux 
and its abhorrence of licensed software.  My hope was/is that, by 
expressing interest in the Lightscribe technology, I might start a 
little ball rolling to gain support for further investigations.

As a single individual I felt it necessary to probe the waters before I 
began a campaign to get broader support for Lightscribe.  You seemed to 
be a good place to start my probing;  as anticipated, I was correct.  
You've provided further insight which will support my continued efforts.

I should suspect that the "Lightscribe People" would welcome the 
deployment of their technology on as many platforms as possible.  If 
their licensing requirements are too restrictive then they must consider 
their marketplace as equally restrictive.

Here's hoping some progress can be made making full Lightscribe support 
available to linux users.

Sincerely,
John Ross Porter
