I could proably rightfully do this if I did stop supporting Apple HFS (well we
have Apple specific UDF support since 2007).
This would be based on being able to drop sinle entity contributions below 5-10%
ofh the whole code.
Would it be worth to do so? I am not convinced. The GPL was intentionally
opened against any kind of libraries after it turned out that the first GCC
version was legally unusable. I was part of this discussion and thus I know
about this fact. The project "mkisofs" just uses independent libraries under
CDDL and this is explicitely permitted for GPLd programs.
