You are again trying to intentionally tell us untrue things about my software! The Debian project accepted the clauses in cdrecord ~ 4 years ago. The Debian people at that time _did_ know that the cdrecord source does not contain invariant sections. You need of course chose a clearly different name (e.g. kindergarten) instead of cdrecord in case you like to apply specific changes.... And note: the CDDL is one of 9 preferred licenses: http://www.crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:11636:200607:nknhhdligldemhkfbhpd It has no problem with any of the DFSG requirements. If you claim different things, you are obviously speading FUD and not a serious discussion partner - sorry. > All of this, without even taking into account your brain-dead licensing > mix between CDDL and GPL - which are intentionally incompatible > licenses, according to Sun guys. If you are so braindead not to understand that this license combination is perfectly OK, I cannot help you. It seems that I did waste already too much time with you. A discussion only makes sense in case that the "other side" is able/willing to understand simple explanataions... > People from Debian are interested in building a free distribution, not > in trolling with software authors crying out loud because they aren't > able to understand how licenses work.

If you continue to spread this kind of personal insults, _you_ are a person that I don't like to talk with anymore in future. I am sorry, but I cannot waste my time with trolls like you. I am however still in hope that the Debian project is not full of trolls but that there are reasonable people in Debian....
