You are abusing the BTS!

Do you like to have a problem oriented discussion or do you just 
like to prove that you behave like a child that is foot-stamping?

If you are _able_/_willing_ to have a useful discussion, I would be willing 
to help you. If you are not interested in a solution, you just need to tell
and I will stop trying to help you.

Then both variants are broken and need to be replaced by a call to cdrecord
as only the writing program knows about the work arounds for broken firmware.

This again is FUD trolling :-( Please stop this or just tell me that you are not
interested in a result oriented discussion.

The correct answer is: The Debian maintainers for cdrtools did start ignoring 
the Debian social contract some time ago and did start to incorrectly claim that 
cdrtools were violating the GPL.

Short time ago, I tried to avoid the GPL that is obviously used by some people 
at Debian to harm Authors of free software.

cdrtools are now under a more free and OSI approved license. As the OSI rules
for approving OpenSource licenses are identical to the Debian rules, it is 
obvious that the license change is no reason to stop using cdrtools.


I am still in hope that you are not acting the same way as the cdrtools 
maintainers for Debian!
