Nice. I point out a problem in what you said, and get accusations of
confusion and self-contradiction in return. I have this suspicion that you're
using two definitions of "derived work" and are picking whichever best suits
your argument.

Hmm, yes, libschily no doubt itself uses the C library, which makes it a
derived work (but then the CDDL presumably has a system library exception).
Best leave it at that, I think :-)

I see your troll and I raise you the three-clause BSD licence (by way of
example). And licence incompatibility strikes down your second assertion.
(Hmm. I see another way out: a clean-room reimplementation of libschily,
released under the (L)GPL. No doubt you'll call *that* illegal too...)
Now. Are you prepared to sort out this licensing issue? If not, you should
just accept the existence and availability of cdrkit because there's nothing
that you can do about it. Insist all that you like... oh, wait, you *want*
the attention, don't you... in that case, I'll shut up now :-]

There's got to be more to life than compile-and-go.
