Sorry to chime in again.
Jörg Schilling is playing the funny guy twisting facts again:

You are lying: Proof:
>From your website: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README:
NOTE: the DVD-recording drivers have been added to the OpenSource
part on May 15th 2006 with cdrtools-2.01.01a09.
That was 2006.
The first patch for adding DVD support to cdrecord I found in 1min
searching was for cdrecord 1.11a08:
http://www.abcpages.com/~mache/cdrecord-dvd.html
cdrecord 1.11 was already released before 2001. At that time
cdrecord-ProDVD was for sure not free.
One of the Debian bug reports discussing that #248187 starts Sun, 9 May
2004 for cdrtools release 2.0+a30
Guys please see the the reality WHO is lying here.
Or is Schillings missing at least 5 years???
