Well, I'll tell you what's wrong: The claim "...If You do, you may distribute the combined work under the terms of the GPL."
does never apply for typical OSS projects (unless someone makes _all_ parts available under the GPL in their repspective source), so Mantas asked me to grant something I do not need to grant, that I will not grant and that has not been granted to the vast majority of OSS. If you e.g. publish a gtar binary for HP-UX (which is a closed source platform), only the parts from gtar that have been compiled from the gtar sources are under GPL and nobody sees a problem with that fact. This is because the GPL only requires the following: - the parts that are from GPLd source need to be published under the terms and conditions of the GPL. - the parts that are not compiled from GPLd source need to be made available to allow recompilation and re-linking. If you don't believe me, you should read the GPL book from Harald Welte's lawyer. Cdrtools are fully compatible with the requirements of the GPL and I see no reason to grant more than the GPL request to be granted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213215 Title: Please include original cdrecord (cdrtools) package in Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/213215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
