[Bug 213215] Re: Please include original cdrecord (cdrtools) package in Ubuntu

[Schily]

Nobody is violating a license for distributing cdrtools either in source
or in binary form.

If you believe the people who claim that there is a problem, then Ubuntu
as a whole would be undistributable as Ubuntu is full of similar
constructions.

I had a discussion with Till Jaeger (the most well known OSS lawyer) and
he confirmed that under the most pessimistic assumptions (that come from
people only who do not own Copyright on cdrtools and thus are irrelevant
anyway) you may need to use dynamic linking.....to avoid any problems.

But let us look at the current situation: Ubuntu is distributing cdrkit
that is definitely in conflict with the Copyright

http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__14.html because it
intentionally introduced bugs to attack my reputation

http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__13.html because Copyright signs
have been removed

It seems that it is Ubunu's intention to be in conflict with the law -
is this the reason why Ubuntu does not like to distribute a legal
solution based on the original sources?
