I disagree. It seems that most of the mkisofs code was actually written by Jörg himself or written while the package was under Jörg's maintainership (only a small portion is from the original author, who has no interest in it anymore), so I would consider him the defacto copyright holder on mkisofs, which means he is the only one who could sue us if linking the GPL-code against a CDDL library would in fact violate the GPL. Now as he is the one who claims that this is NOT a problem, he won't do that. This is a non-issue, nothing will happen to us, nobody will be pissed, nobody will sue us, everything will just be better and the world will be a happier place.
Thank you! You did find a very good phrase that is hard to find by an affected person. It seems that you hit the nail on the head.
