That cdrecord upstream seems to be pretty "dense", to say it politely, cause 
he refuses to settle some "is that license compatible or not" legalese crap by 
simply dual licensing his software and instead prefers to troll the web over 
this issue.

So it wont happen before cdrecord is dual licensed or the legal issues are 
resolved - which probably means never quite sadly.

Kidding aside: what exactly is the reason that prevents you from dual 
licensing cdrecord and thereby resolving the whole issue (which no one else 
can do) besides "I don't want cause I don't want"?

regards,
Stephan
