Hello Robert,I do agree with you that this is an issue only lawyers can actually decide.
So, then let's bring it to some place where lawyers discuss it but keep it out of the developers list, as we won't be able to solve it.
... but since cdrtools is now in factory again
AFAIK it's not in Factory. It's available somewhere in OBS, and that's OK, but adding to Factory would need a license review from Novell lawyers, from what I heard. And AFAIK, that hasn't happened.
So until a suse lawyer we trust [...] tells us cdrecord is good, we should probably remove it until then. Just like the other distributions did.
As I said once before, it might even be a good idea to ship neither cdrtools nor wodim until there was a review by Novell lawyers. Still, we won't solve license questions or do legal reviews with developer or software tester arguments, and this group is for those groups only. Here this discussion is - other than the basic "this needs legal review" - nothing other than disturbing noise. So, as said before, please let's take this to a legal group, where hopefully actual lawyers are involved and let's take those things into legal review, where it hopefully can be be resolved in some way. And let's get back to making actual *software* work and testing here. There's a lot more to a good Linux distro than the ancient art of writing to optical physical media, after all.
