... and you can start standing on the shoulders of cdrecord, looking
at all the "strange stuff" and "vendor information" that Mr. Schilling
has used. After all, this is what the GPL and open source is all
about.
Rip out, what is useful, discard the rest, ignore the
complaints. That's how it works.

"Fighting for one's political stand is an honorable action, but re-
fusing to acknowledge that there might be weaknesses in one's
position - in order to identify them so that they can be remedied -
is a large enough problem with the Open Source movement that it
deserves to be on this list of the top five problems."
