It is included on blacklist due that has a apple's license binding with no clarification. I don't know if the last version fixed it.

cdrtools-3.01 has the same Apple license issue that cdrkit-libre solves. It also has a GPL-licensed mkisofs linking to a CDDL-licensed library. We should blacklist it.

I made changes on cdrkit removing 'cdrtools' on replace, provides and conflicts line due that it has reverse conflict from cdrtools. Meanwhile, i put cdrtools on blacklist and it was replaced by cdrtools-libre [0]

See e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items#cdrtools for why other distros do not include it. Is there a reason to keep it here?

ah ok mtjm, so due that cdrtools has an incompatible mix of the GPL and the CDDL, it will be removed from our distro. thanks for the information.

cdrtools was included on blacklist, cdrtools-libre was removed due that source code has a mix of incompatibility licenses, so it don't can be resolved. cdrkit-libre is the free alternative of cdrkit and cdrtools on Parabola (cdrtools was included on conflict, provides and replace line of cdrkit-libre again). Solved!
