Jörg Schilling has repeatedly threatened to take legal action, and this is precisely the reason that led to renaming cdrtools to cdrkit. Actually, even if we were to switch back to cdrtools as upstream source, we would still be distributing it under the cdrkit name, otherwise we couldn’t patch it without calling for Lord Schilling’s wrath. > Well, I think there is the problem.

Yes, Schilling is "difficult" but by now, so is Debian.

I think the Debian members have all been pretty clear on what is asked to work with the project. Some of us are used to deal with upstream developers behaving like assholes, so that is not the problem. The problem is that we cannot distribute cdrecord binaries. Full stop. End of story. Bye bye. The same goes for Gentoo. For Fedora. For OpenSUSE, Mandriva and Ubuntu. Man, so many “difficult” distributors, all refusing to cooperate, and distributing cdrkit instead! Disgusting. -- .''`. Debian 5.0 "Lenny" has been released! : :' : `. `' Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told `- me that if you don't install Lenny, he'd melt your brain.
