ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README NOTE: the DVD-recording drivers have been added to the OpenSource part on May 15th 2006 with cdrtools-2.01.01a09. It is nice that you finaly made this free but it is a rather recent change given: ********** NEW: On March 9th, we are celebrating 6 years of cdrecord-ProDVD Sorry that I'm not totally up to date. >> But then please just say so.

So you agree with me that it is not a GPL issue. If you have a trade mark on cdrecord and want to enforce it that is your decision. But it is not GPL related as you seem to claim in the source file. >> You should just add a requirement for renaming the software instead of >> your invariant section and extra printing code requirement. > > Note that the name "dvdrecord" is illegal too as this name is "too close" > to the name cdrecord and many people use the name "dvdrecord" for the newer > versions of cdrecord that include DVD writing although I did never mentioned > this name for my software. So is using IBM or Coca-Cola. What has that got to do with it? > Jörg MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
