As a hint: "the work mkisofs" is the plain files that can be found in the sub-directory "mkisofs" in the cdrtools source tree. Other sub-directories in this source tree colletion contain _other_ independent works. You have to decide whether the GPL is a completely unusable license or whether there is no problem with mkisofs.....
I am afraid that we will not solve the problems of the shortcomings of GPL here. The question is whether or not we can solve the problems of the different reading of the GPL for the purposes of this one program, mkisofs. I understand that in the legal theory you have about the programs there is no problem, while under the theory espoused by Debian and many other distributions there is a problem. Lets not try to solve everything here, but only the one thing-- mkisofs. As I have said, the users would thank you.
