</div>IANAL, but I believe the same reasons that prevent inclusion of<br>
CDRtools into Fedora prevent it from inclusion into RPMFusion. The<br>
program is breaking free software licenses (CDDL linking GPL and the<br>
two are incompatible by design of CDDL), which makes redistribution (in<br>
binary form) impossible.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>To be fair, Jorg believes that CDDL linking to GPL is not a problem, but Fedora legal felt otherwise. I think it would be fair to say that the license compatibility is unclear. I also looked at using an alternative C library (Clang) but I'm not enough of a programmer to do that.</div>
