The fork-team can look at http://www.arklinux.org/projects/dvdrtools, a
100% free fork of cdrtools.
The SVN is inactive from 6 month, but the autotool-ization is already
done and it can write on DVDs, and probably is better than starting
another fork.
One interesting thing on this project is that they want to turn
important functionality into a shared library for improve the access
from the various frontends.
