Re: Problème cdrecord.prodvd

Dans la 2.01a37, y'a un test anti Suse et noyau 2.6 et il est précisé qu'on n'a pas le droit d'enlever le test, ce qui me parait contraire à la GPL, non ?

/*
* You are not allowed to modify or remove the call to "linuxcheck()".
* I am sorry that I am forced to do things like this, but defective
* versions of cdrecord cause a lot of work load to me and it seems
* to be impossible to otherwise convince SuSE to cooperate.
* As people contact me and bother me with the related problems,
* it is obvious that SuSE is violating subsection 6 in the preamble of
* the GPL.
*
* The reason for including a test against SuSE's private
* distribution environment is only that SuSE violates the GPL for
* a long time and seems not to be willing to follow the requirements
* imposed by the GPL. If SuSE starts to ship non defective versions
* of cdrecord or informs their customers that they would need to
* compile cdrecord themselves in order to get a working cdrecord,
* they should contact me for a permission to change the related test.
*
* Note that although the SuSE test is effective only for SuSE, the
* intention to have non bastardized versions out is not limited
* to SuSE. It is bad to see that in special in the "Linux" business,
* companies prefer a model with many proprietary differing programs
* instead of cooperating with the program authors.
