While I want Jörg to "shut up" as much as the next person, I would *greatly* prefer a solution that doesn't involve Debian allocating resources to legal proceedings. Jörg, the evidence and arguments you've put forth so far have failed to convince Debian to voluntarily stop distributing cdrkit (including wodim), which you claim violates your copyright. If you have a goal of resolving this issue, please provide previously-unreleased evidence or arguments, preferably those requested by DDs--the persons that set Debian policy.
