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></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.<br>

Jorg is very intelligent, but his people skills leave much to be desired. :) And it doesn't help that he refuses to change the license, or that he doesn't like make and had to come up with his own replacement, smake.</div>

FreeBSD ships some patches for compiling CDRtools with Clang, if I can assemble the package with it would be ok?</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I would say, "possibly". You'd need to make sure it doesn't link to anything "GPL"...</div>
