[Libburn] Announcing cdrskin 0.1.0, a limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn

[Derek Foreman]

I'd have to re-write a couple of functions to make the library LGPL 
compatible, and til now I'd not seen a compelling reason to do so.

Otherwise, I don't have any objections against LGPL.
(anyone that does, please speak up...)

I'll look in to re-writing those functions.
