Joerg Schilling, author of cdrecord, claims on his website that Wodim
the fork of cdrecord, which has been substituted for cdrecord etc. on
Fedora and other distributions, is buggy, and that license problems,
which are the (putative) reason for the substitution are bogus.  

What's the truth about this?  In any case, details of the dispute and
the source for JS's cdrecord tools are available at:
        http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html
and
        http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdr-faq.html
(I don't know which of the many versions of the source there is best.)
