Please don't repeat lies and FUD!

Cdrecord is 100% CDDL and there are no invariant sections.

The text quoted in http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/006193.html
is a text that has been added as agreed on with the Debian maintainers in order
to fend a GPL violation from SuSE.

The two other quoted articles verify that lwn is an enemy of OSS, it is pure 
FUD.
