It's possible.
1) dd can do the job as others have pointed out. Clone to image or image
to physical disc.
2) Use whatever other CD/DVD burning software you choose (CLI or GUI
tool). Suggestions at [0] ... begin reading at section 4.7 for burning

While it may be in the Microsoft agreement, would they really be able to
tell you used dd to clone the disc to an ISO?
It's a trivial problem and one that won't come to light unless a person is
illegally distributing install discs and what not. Furthermore it doesn't
matter in the whole scope of things so I'll stop here being off-topic.
