Keith,
I was wondering if anyone would notice. Thanks.

The problem seems to be that you would rather rant about distributions' licensing and packaging decisions than help the OP. It seems like he would be perfectly happy to use your version of cdrtools, yet you insist on not telling him how to get it!
There are more then 100 bug reports in the redhat bugtracking system (just change your view to see all closed but unfixed bugs) that confirm problems with the binaries distributed by redhat and the users who reported the bugs confirmed that upgrading to recent original software fixed the problem.
It is pretty obvious that redhat does not care about it's users...
Still, none of this solves the OP's problem! You do yourself and your software a disservice by being deliberately unhelpful to score political points. (Perhaps that is why distros are reluctant to include your software, preferring a buggy version to one with a difficult author.)
