I know nothing about this story :-) but I happen to remember a part of the original debate back in 2006, so for context here it is: http://lwn.net/Articles/198171/
Could we please have a fact based discussion?
The article you quote is not based on facts.
The link provided in the above article contains pretty detailed reasoning justifying the fork of cdrkit from cdrtools. In reading
the link above contains one single true claim:
In the past, we, the Debian maintainers of cdrtools, had a good and mutually cooperative relationship with Jörg Schilling. He even commented on Debian bug reports, which is one of the best things an upstream maintainer can do. Naturally, there were occasionally disagreements, but this is normal.
The rest contains a lot of accusations but not a single legal proof.
Please read the relvent information I did provide already, see e.g.:
