Exactly -

Joerg, you have a certain opinion... and that is all it is! Other 
people, some of them Debian maintainers have a different one. This is a 
common situation, and it is allowed - in fact desirable in many situations.

If said opinions are believed to effect someones livelihood, then there 
can be a court case where one set of opinions becomes the one that 
everyone within the jurisdiction of that court must (at least in public) 
agree to. That has *not* happened with respect your cdrtools license 
change, hence (many) differing opinions about it.

regards

Mark
