I think there has been a fork from the original cdrecord, and its author,

open source software and has removed any code that conflicts with this aim.
So it is in flux I believe?
This is not true:
The original cdrtools from
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
is of course OpenSource ans uses a more free license than earlyer versions.
There are no license issues with the original software and in contrary to the
Denbian "fork", the original is constantly enhanced......

Please don't start a licensing flame-war on this list. We are just the
users and have little influence over such decisions. debian-legal is
probably much better suited for this debate.
Anyway, thank you for writing cdrecord. I think everybody agrees it's a
great piece of software.
