Since I couldn't find a better list here,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate I am posting here. Let me
know if I need to redirect it elsewhere.

I just came across an article slashdot.org (
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/09/04/1335226 ) about a
package being kicked due to licence issues. i looked throuhg yum, and
found that 'cdrecord' seems to be liable for this. The package info
linked to this site:
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/cdrecord.html

I checked fedoraproject.org for references to the CDDL, and only found
two, which where a bit ambigous on the topic of compatability with
Fedora.

Just pointing this out incase it needs to be dealt with early.

Peace.
