That was what i am looking for, thanks! Why they did choose cdrkit in
favor of cdrtools is a miracle to me! Maybe I will ask the maintainer
about this!
Probably for the same reason Debian felt obliged to do the same -
licensing issues. It is widely acknowledged that cdrtools is the
superior code over cdrkit but large sections of the OSS community feel
that cdrtools' license puts tham at risk, regardless of what Joerg
(cdrtools maintainer) asserts in this matter.
But lets not start this useless debate all over again and simply
acknowledge that some Gentoo dev made a decision and leave it at that.

the link under license is leading to nowhere. On the project page I have
not been able to find a license, too (fast overview).
Where can I find the license?
