It's the GPL + a couple of additional restrictions (e.g. one must not
change tests in the configure script) + a "clarification text" about
how to interpret certain parts of the GPL for cdrecord. I don't support
his view of the GPL but I think we really shouldn't patch cdrecord in
a way the author clearly objects to. Please also see his recent mail
on hackers@:
