Please note that the cdrecord situation has been resolved, the latest version (2.01a38-pre) again is distributed under a free license.

Well, that's good news... though it doesn't prevent the author from changing the license again, and it still leaves users wanting DVD support out in the cold.

Also, the "hint" in the announcement that "Solaris x86 is free for personal use" is just plain silly -- how many users want to switch to Solaris just to be able to use cdrecord? Probably not very many.
