Aaargh! :-( I was hoping this problem had been fixed... I pointed out this very issue on debian-legal back in September _2004_: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/09/msg00003.html Steve McIntyre stated that cdrtools should have been forked from a version prior to the license "clarifications": http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/09/msg00009.html I thought that this was going to happen soon, and then had no more time to follow the issue. Now I see that the issue is still there! :-(( How can such a package still be in main with this non-freeness? I'm surprised that nobody filed a serious bug for this... > Just use dvdrtools instead. ITYM dvd+rw-tools, since dvdrtools is in non-free too... -- :-( This Universe is buggy! Where's the Creator's BTS? ;-) ......................................................................
