In late 2006, some people picked a cdrtools version from September 2004 and
started to "work" on the code.
- They removed the working DVD support code and replaced it with something
half baken is a result of the trace actions of a french guy from
Mandriva on a cdrecord-ProDVD version from Autumn 2001. This however
only contains SCSI commands that have been understood by this person...
- The working autoconfiguration and build system has been removed and
replaced by something that does not even work for all Linux platforms.
Note that there is more than x86.
- Instead of fixing bugs, a lot of new bugs have been introduced.
- Copyright notices have been removed from the code. Note that these
removed notes did help to identify many illegal closed source projects
in the past that have been based on cdrtools.
- Unlike the original source, the Debian based source cannot be called
"complete source" (as required by the GPL) anymore and it does not
compile on some Linux systems because of this missing code.
- 7 months lather (on May 6th 2007) all development action stopped.
Well, there have been some typo fixes later to create the attempt of
a maintained project, but bug reports are ignored.
But note that this is OSS and nobody is foced by the enemies of OpenSource
in Debian or other Linux distros to use the Debian code.
...meanwhile, the original code has been improved a lot. The code base and the
features did more than double since 2004.
The code has been checked by several lawyers and none of them could detect any
legal problem in the original code.
