Actually this is only FUD spread by Joerg. He is definitely not the only man on this planet knowing how to program CD/DVD burning equipment.
Generally cdrecord has one big deficiency, which obviously was intended: it does not allow medium skilled programmers from drive _vendors_ to add support for their latest hardware easily. Everyone has to beg Joerg, which obviously increased his ego dramatically over the years. It would be a lot better to start off a new project where vendors (or anybody with skill and will) can contribute more easily, i.e. something that is truely _open_.
