What is going on here? I thought Fedora only shipped upstream code?
What's
all this business about having broken forks and licensing issues?
The only thing I can figure out from this conversation is that the CDDL is
supposed to be incompatible with the GPL. If that's the case, why not
simply ask the original creator to kindly dual license it?
In this case, upstream (wodim) is a fork of Joerg Schilling's project. Wodim
was forked from cdrecord because Joerg is crazy. Joerg likes to call wodim
"the broken fork" and cdrecord "the original software".
Hope that helps,
