Perhaps he's annoyed because he wrote a big important piece of software 
and everyone refuses to use it because of BS claims that he's going to 
sue them. Wouldn't it make you angry if you went to the trouble to write 
something like this and everyone ditched it over claims by someone who 
just wants to make their shitty fork popular?

Or maybe he doesn't like making things a huge pain in the ass for his 
users. Installing cdrtools from the AUR isn't exactly obvious or easy. 
Even if you do learn about this (like I did from this thread), yaourt -S 
cdrtools doesn't work (it automatically installs cdrkit instead).
