No, we should just stop distributing the prebuild image in our release
and live cds. We do not have to do anything with the package in
portage, as it is the user who builds cdrtools that does the violating
(and only if they then redistribute the built binary).
Same rule as the binary kernel modules situation.
So we are just fine, one of the advantages of being a source-based
distro :)
