The above site emphatically states that Redhat provides a version of cdrtools not to the liking of the developer. Why did Redhat/Fedora make changes to Mr Schilling's product?
If I were to follow the developers advice and compile from source, what would I be hurting? Anyone running virgin cdrtools code on their FC2?

Being able to write DVDs is one good reason. The original cdrecord won't do this, although Mr Schilling does have a commercial version of cdrecord that will do it...

Here's some background:

I think Fedora / Red Hat are in the right, here.

Yup, lots of us are I suspect. And k3b works errorless for what I do.

So if I use cdrecord from them I wouldn't get that message "It's not us so don't call us"?

I am on FC-1 here. Curiously, when I try to build cdrtools from the src.rpm, mkisofs doesn't get built. No idea why... everything else builds fine, and it I build from the tarball, mkisofs gets built as well.
