There was a very simple suggestion some message ago, why not dual-license the CDDL parts of cdrtools and be done with any and all the FUD (from any side), all the anomisity, and trolling.
Or the other way around: put mkisofs under CDDL, so the package has a homogeneous license?
I could proably rightfully do this if I did stop supporting Apple HFS (well we have Apple specific UDF support since 2007). This would be based on being able to drop sinle entity contributions below 5-10% ofh the whole code. Would it be worth to do so? I am not convinced. The GPL was intentionally opened against any kind of libraries after it turned out that the first GCC version was legally unusable. I was part of this discussion and thus I know about this fact. The project "mkisofs" just uses independent libraries under CDDL and this is explicitely permitted for GPLd programs.
