I wasn't aware that there were contributors that were objecting to the
license change.
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.
Okay, I did a search for this and I see the problem. mkisofs is still
GPL software but it calls in libscg which is now CDDL. Joerg certainly
has the right to change his libscg to CDDL - it just kills the
possibility of a binary package for mkisofs...
Hrm...
