[Bug 177154] cdrtools is undistributable

[Matthew Garrett]

Public bug reported:

cdrecord includes the mkisofs binary. mkisofs itself is under the GPL,
but the binary links statically against included libraries that are
under the CDDL. The CDDL contains restrictions not present in the GPL,
preventing us from providing the complete source to the binary under
terms compatible with the GPL. As a consequence, the binaries are
impossible to distribute while satisfying their license. We should
remove the package from the archive until this is corrected.
