The file cdrecord/cdrecord.c has the following exrtra restriction (line 4640): /* * You are not allowed to modify or remove the following code. * I am sorry that I am forced to do things like this, but defective * versions of cdrecord cause a lot of work load to me and it seems * to be impossible to otherwise convince SuSE to cooperate. * As people contact me and bother me with the related problems, * it is obvious that SuSE is violating subsection 6 in the preamble of * the GPL. * * Note that although the SuSE test is effective only for SuSE, the * intention to have non bastardized versions out is not limited * to SuSE. It is bad to see that in special in the "Linux" business, * companies prefer a model with many proprietary differing programs * instead of cooperating with the program authors. */ this extra restriction make cdrecord non gpl. maybe the licence in the ebuild should be updated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
i forgot to say that this applies on versions 2.01a36
I already added a comment to the ebuild. Obviously I forgot to close this bug.
