Re: An old, tiresome discussion: cdrtools vs cdrkit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Let us all remember that Arch Linux is not a for-profit company out to make
a dollar on the backs of free software developers. It is likely that anyone
making a license claim against Arch Linux would simply ask us to remove the
offending package and leave it at that. The real risk is quite minimal and
most companies I've worked for would do this without much fear until someone
challenged the legality in a more official capacity. Even then, such a
challenge requires money and years of time.

So, I would say that putting cdrtools back in extra would be less risky than
running Windows or using a credit card at a restaurant (which is how many
numbers are stolen).

We always have AUR or maybe the archlinux.fr guys would be willing to host
it.

If this is true, can't Joerg just issue an official statement that he
will not sue Arch and we can close this case. or can any other party
sue you when violating the GPL ?
