Internal to Fedora/RH or a complete fork?
Preferably a cross distribution coordinated fork like Xorg.
A little background on what happened.
Jonathan Corbet of LWN pointed out a license incompatibility

I forwarded this mail to Fedora Advisory Board list since the Red Hat
counsel is in that list
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2006-August/msg00201.html
LWN article (subscribers only for another week) explaining the details
at http://lwn.net/Articles/195167/
Tom Callaway is doing a licensing audit initiated by a previous Fedora
board discussion
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2006-August/msg00227.html)
of non-free and software with licensing issues in Fedora and filed a
bug report against cdrtools pointing out this issue
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202526
There are few potential forks here such as
http://www.arklinux.org/projects/dvdrtools
For FC6, the idea is to go back to the last known good source and stick
with it till we figure out the plans better.
