Just like you have been told before in the other thread a few months
ago, people are just covering their asses, there is a big number of
distros using cdrkit so in case of doubt just use what everyone else uses.

Lawyers are expensive and smaller distros like Arch can't afford to
spend money on lawyers because of someone else's quarrel.

"Because I say so" is not a valid backup for your claims, Earth used to
be flat and the center of the universe because the "experts" of that
time "said so". This behavior gets people mad at you and invariably
leads to the same result, which is, keep distributing cdrkit.

If you want to change that, concede to what people ask of you. If you
had done that already most probably we wouldn't be having this huge déjà
vu thread.
