you know, I tried porting libcdio to OpenBSD. then I had "issues"
with Rocky Bernstein, so I am not going to work on it. if you
think it's worth your time to beat your head against a wall of
official GNU ignorance/apathy/discrimination, be my guest.
Dear Jacob,
I might be n00b but on GNU/GPL bullshit I am with you 1000%. One of the
reasons that I start switching to OpenBSD is that
I share philosophical views with of the whole project and user base.
I am not familiar with the K3b issues that you are referring to. I
didn't try seriously to work on the project. Could you give some more
details so that people do not bang their had against the wall. K3b is
known application and an average n00b will ask about it. So lets
get all the facts out. I would love to hear from Gnome people about
their CD/DVD tools and issues.
I have heard something about forking cdrtools and dvd+rw probably by
the people who want to enforce GPL license. Maybe somebody should say
about those issues as well.
OpenBSD is also supporting multiple architectures and I know for the
fact that TkDVD is ported for Sparck64 and I believe MIPS.
I think that the person who ported TkDVD was thinking very carefully
about many issues.
Most Kind Regard,
Predrag Punosevac
P. S. You know that I value your opinion very much and I am happy
somebody serous got into discussion. I was hopping for the reaction of
more serious people than my-self by answering the question about K3b. Of
course the easiest thing would be just to tell the guy read FAQ
and use cdrtools and dvd+rw.
