(cdrecord.berlios.de) There isn't a whole lot of development going on with cdrkit, but it works well enough and it certainly isn't dying. >> It seems that J?rg Schilling's attitude deters many from adopting his >> excellent software. It actually prevents people from adopting it if they want to distribute it in strict compliance with common licences (interpreted the way nearly everyone else interprets them). > While his attitude is an annoyance, there has also been a lot of > childish behaviour from the Debian people. Only if you completely believe Schilling's account. The cdrkit developers long ago addressed his complaints about their so-called GPL violations (at least one of which was based on selectively quoting the GPL), but he hasn't bothered to update his website. Every other significant distro I can think of has switched to cdrkit, not just Debian and Ubuntu. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk |
