Gentoo is with cdrkit
Long time i don't blog... i'm sorry i know i'm lazy.
I sent this mail to gentoo-dev mailing list today.
"Now i know the real story since i've been talking with Debian
Maintainers. So there's isn't anything to say but we are working close
to upstream and they actually offer commit access to maintainers of
another distros. Cdrkit project sounds much more like an open project
than cdrtools so i'll be with them. This was pretty much what happened
with Xfree/Xorg. So cdrtools will be the "close" project and cdrkit the
"open" project. Like i said before Gentoo joined this new project.
Now the license problems are fixed and we can ship this on our portage
tree tarballs for our new releases etc...
The package is in the tree and it's asking for testing before i can
remove it from pkg.mask and provide the cdrtools virtual."
Ok i think i don't have to tell anything more...

well... good to see that you made yourself a clean picture of both sides of this argument...

i hope loosing the work from joerg schilling will not be too hard a blow though...
All because a stupid license dispute.... is that the opensource spirit? I don't think so! I really don't understand why other distros are so eager to follow debian. They should have waited first to see how things develop!
What is not clear from your announcement: Will cdrtools be removed or will users have the choice between cdrkit and cdrtools?
