ah but it was exactly licensing issues that caused the fork of cdrtools
into wodim...

That said, it might have been more productive to file bugs against wodim
for things that haven't worked for you.

It is far simpler for me build cdrtools package and have fine result
in several minutes. And especially about wodim there was/is many
bugreports and as I wrote, it was basically unmaintained.
But, I don't only criticise Fedora. When cdrtools is insuitable for
Fedora, then probably may be in rpmfusion repos, and I can maintain
it there. If so, can anyone give me any directions how do it?
