Hello,
I would like to know if there are still issues with CDDL packages in
Fedora.
It is not my intention to start a flame, I'm simply asking if that's still the case or if I can fill a Review Request for the infamous cdrtools in Fedora:
No. We're not including cdrtools in Fedora. Consider it pre-emptively legally blocked.
The last time this topic was brought up, I took the time to identify all of the legal issues around it (and attempt to dispel some of Mr. Schilling's crazy):

I've also added it to the Forbidden Items list:
Ah, the memories.

Mr Schilling is just a special kind of crazy. He seems to have a rather warped view of copyright law. And since when were forks illegal? Do we know exactly what parts of cdrtools cause the legal incompatibilities?
