A more general problem is the license incompatibility with

Sun dropped libcdio already a year ago after Sun lawyers detected

Could you elaborate a little on what the license incompatibility
is?
First, libcdio had an illegal license change...
Since you now appear to be answering license questions, could I
trouble you, please, to address this query?

If you like to have a serious answer, do not include pointers to
nonserious
articles like this one:

Sorry, Joerg.
I only included that article because it came up when I searched for
"cdrecord" license problem.
Perhaps you could overlook my ignorance just this once and explain
why you chose to migrate your software from the GPL to the CDDL
(or to a CDDL-alike license).
To a naive reader, with only that article to go on, it does seem to
be that action of yours which instigated distros dropping your
software for the alternative. I'm sure, as you say, this was
unjustified on their part, however some background on your choice
might be helpful.
