Chris Bainbridge comment is irrelevant, he does not seem to know the legal facts.

The creation if the fork "cdrkit" ("wodim", "genisoimage", et. al.) is a result of a social
attack from a Debian packetizer against the cdrtools project. The person who started this
attack never has been interested in a legal solution. The fork he created is in conflict with
the GPL and the Copyright. If Ubuntu was interested in being legal, Ubuntu could upgrade
to the original software and close aprox. 100 tecnical bugs at the same time, as these bugs
are caused by the fork.

genisoimage is a program that creates filesystem images that are full of known deviations from the
standard and that could cause problems in the future. Is Ubuntu still intererested in the Ubuntu
users?
