[Savannah-register-public] [task #6120] Submission of Composer Automated Audio Disc Backup Sys

[Quatre Horrace]

Follow-up Comment #8, task #6120 (project administration):

Patrick,

I have researched the primera driver as well. They were unable to give me a
real license, but they did mention that they only provide rights to those who
own the actual hardware, one "license" per hardware unit. I do not imagine
that this is GNU compatible as well. Having learned this from Primera, I have
somewhat given up on the inkjet printing interface for the project. (In my
experiences, the printing mechanism is also not the most reliable mechanism
on the device, so it is only a minor loss) However, for the project, some
sort of a label needs to be made for the discs. 

I have had success in using Lightscribe technology for Linux. I am not sure
what this brings to the picture in terms of licensing, but I would like to
throw out the idea. 

I have a hypothetical question for you. Assume that no disc labeling
technology compatible with my project compiles with GNU guidelines. I would
still like to do the project. However, in reality, being able to dynamically
make a label for each disc is an important feature. Would the following be
possible: have different versions of the program with varying levels of GNU
compliance? For example, all code/etc that 100% complies with GNU would be
submitted to savannah. However, there would be additional portions of the
project available (for labeling) which would work with the project but would
not be available on savannah. This way I still am able to create a project
that is useful based on the 100% GNU compiant requirement, but in addition
would be extendable depending on the price the end user is willing to pay. 

Thoughts?

- Quatre
