Hmmm, it seems that the matter is so complicated that even you don't know what's going on ;-) The latest issue of Debian Weekly News explicitly mentions that cdrecord has to go to non-free unless the license additions get changed.

You accuse Linux distributors of being non-cooperative, but I think that the major cause of not cooperating is that just everybody in the Linux world does not share your set of dogmata, the recent discussion about addressing devices being a prime example. Although I very much appreciate your experience with CD recording, I feel that the ways of referring to devices should be best left to Linux developers.
(BTW: I am not sure I haven't missed anything in the long cdrecord-related threads on the LKML, but I still haven't seen what is exactly so broken on the cdrecord shipped by SUSE.)
