Ok, I didn't want to take part in this joke, but enough is enough.

There is a 99.999999999% chance that you are not telling the truth.

If you really had a relevant e-mail from Eben Moglen (or another
lawyer, for the matter) that could really solve all of your problems
with the cdrtools-vs-cdrkit querelle, you would have found a way to
publish it and clear up the doubts. People who have problems have a
name (ok, you have one) and send bug (law) reports.

This is *your* argument. Do you think it is valuable? Ok, I'll just
say I have *two* private e-mails from a very important lawyer that
states that there *is* a legal problem with cdrtools. Now, how do you
counter-argument *this*? Do you see how it makes no sense at all?

You know what's the point? I had a deep respect for you, before I read
this thread. Maybe you're the best coder in the world, but it's
decades that code doesn't earn you respect. You are talking with
*people* here, not pets. And your discussion is in no way technical as
you required.

«My software has legal issues? No, that's not true, trust me, I can't
provide any proof but it's true.»
«My software has technical issues? No, that's not true, I can't trust
you and you must provide proof.»

No, thanks.
