I've just finished confronting him with various licenses and as far as
he seems to be concerned the GPL can go to hell. I've left him in his
self created hell.
As long as everything works everybody is happy and I don't think we'll
see the original cdrecord and cdrtools in any GPL friendly distribution
for a while.

This thread started precisely because not everybody is happy with the current
situation: wodim fails to work properly sometimes.

I'm going to try it out for myself though just to see if the authors
megalomania is justified.

So, the trial is finished and sentenced already?

Anyway, there are technical problems related to the usage of wodim, and these
issues seem to be solved when using cdrtools-3, which is available in Factory.
For 11.3, cdrtools-3 is also available in http://jftp.medozas.de/openSUSE_11.3/
