I'm pretty sure the one in cdrkit is real.  Either that or I'm only 
imagining that I burned and used my last rescue CD. *boggle*

:)

Just to be clear, cdrkit is a fork off of an older version of cdrtools that 
was made because Debian doesn't believe cdrtools to be distributable by 
anyone other than the copyright holder since parts are licensed under the 
GPL and parts are under the (GPL-incompatible) CDDL.  The issue is further 
since the work isn't from an single author (contributions licensed under 
the GPL from others have been integrated) AND at least one party involved 
believes the GPL and CDDL to be compatible.

That doesn't make cdrkit less real, but it does mean that you'll probably 
have fewer issues using cdrtools.  (I use cdrkit and have never had any 
problems with it; YMMV.)
