and original cdrecord *is* available. If the same problem arise in cdrecord and Mozilla, why do we use mozilla?
It's not the same problem or at least partly the same problem. Mozilla has no licensing issues since they tri-license the whole source code MPL/GPL/LGPL. What's a bit similar in the end is that Mozilla enforces distributors to comply to some rules if they want to use the Mozilla trademarks (branding/names/etc) for the product.
There is no license problem in cdrtools. If you believe there is one, you need to prove this or we need to call you a person that is not interested in following the truth. If you like to use the cdrtools brand names, you need to distribute a product that is of aproproate quality with respect to cdrtools. I see no difference to Mozilla.
But it seems that collaboration with Mozilla works smoother as in the case of cdrecord.
You did never try to collaborate so you are obviously unable to judge in such a case. Given the fact that all people who tried to collaborate with me are satisfied, it seems that you like to spread FUD. Please stay with facts..... Also please keep in mind that I have been a very strong supporter of the GPL in the past. I changed my mind after I tried to sue GPL violators based on the GPL to no avail long before Harald Welte did sue GPL violators based on hardware costs. I learned that the GPL is something to avoid after I have been attacked by Debian for using the GPL. Please to not weep because I now try to avoid things that cause problems.
