Not quite. It's a licensing dispute with cdrtools' creator, Jörg
Schilling. cdrkit is a fork of the last GPL version of cdrtools before
it became relicensed under the CDDL. That's why wodim does not only
/look/ like old cdrrecord, it /is/ the old cdrrecord code.

If you require newer cdrecord features, look for source RPMs of it.
Binary distribution is problematic.
