+ * You are not allowed to modify or remove the call to "linuxcheck()". + * I am sorry that I am forced to do things like this, but defective
+ * versions of cdrecord cause a lot of work load to me and it seems
+ * to be impossible to otherwise convince SuSE to cooperate.
+ * As people contact me and bother me with the related problems,
+ * it is obvious that SuSE is violating subsection 6 in the preamble of + * the GPL.
+ *
+ * Note that although the SuSE test is effective only for SuSE, the
+ * intention to have non bastardized versions out is not limited
+ * to SuSE. It is bad to see that in special in the "Linux" business,
+ * companies prefer a model with many proprietary differing programs
+ * instead of cooperating with the program authors.
