All I have to say about that is that I wish the GPL were not so restrictive that it prohibits many potential best-of-breed combinations of components. But that was it's intent and it isn't likely to ever change. I'm just glad that people like Larry Wall understood that early-on and used dual-licensing to make at least some software usable in more situations. .

Mr. Corbet is not interested on the truth but likes to play games against OSS. He publishes unproven claims and does not give a place to correct his fault.

Don't believe the attacks against OSS from Debian, Mr. Corbet and similar.
Sun legal, Oracle legal and even Eben Moglen confirmed that cdrtools is without legal problems.
