If gNewSense accepts this license then it means by upgrading cdrtools we can close a bug - newer versions of cdrtools have moved to a CDDL license solving the issue with the build system and the CDDL specifically grants authors the right to require modified versions not use any trademarks.
What about the question whether Joerg Shilling had the right to change the license from GPL to CDDL or not?
I seem to remember that when this was discussed in Debian's mailing-lists, there was a comment that Joerg Shilling didn't have the right to change the license from GPL to CDDL for some parts of the code, for which he isn't the only Copyright-holder.
