Developer: Debian Project
Latest release: 1.1.2 / 2007-01-23
OS: Cross-platform
Use: CD/DVD-writing
License: GPL

cdrkit is a fork, initiated by the Debian project, of the popular CD and DVD authoring package, cdrtools. One part of the package is wodim (an acronym for Write Optical Disk Media), which is a fork of the cdrecord program from cdrtools. Other parts are icedax, the InCredible Digital Audio EXractor and genisoimage which is a derivate from mkisofs with additional extensions, like support for multibyte character sets in file name conversion (eg. from UTF-8) and advanced boot code.

The fork was in response to a licence change by Jörg Schilling to a variant of CDDL with additional clauses. The Debian maintainers of the cdrtools package judged that this made the software incompatible with the GPL, basing this judgment on statements by the Free Software Foundation and by the creators of the CDDL, Sun Microsystems.[1]

As of 1.1.3, genisoimage can handle files of large size (bigger than 4Gib) when using an UDF file system, but the resulting image may display incorrect sizes in the iso9660 part.
