I don't know much about the licenses differences and all that crap but I experienced a problem with cdrecord several years ago where it would not work with my CD burner. I kept getting wiere I/O errors or some such. When I asked around,some people told me about wodim and when I went out and installed wodim, I've been able to burn CDs and DVDs flawlessly ever since. My time with wodim has transpired over Slackware, Debian, and now Arch. I don't know today if cdrecord would still cause me those errors or not but for me, the drkit has been doing me just fine.
As you do not give any facts, this is obviously nonsense.
I know of not a single case where cdrecord fails but wodim succeeds. Wodim is nothing than an onl version of cdrecord with bugs added by it't creators that never have been in the original.
If you would give evidence, it would be easy to prove that your alleged problem is not related to cdrecord.

Now you know about several of those cases, for I wasn't able to burn my CD on a modern device (Lenovo SL500's DVD device) with cdrtools (alpha67, IIRC), but I was able to do it with cdrkit without an issue.
