Please take this as constructive criticism.  This statement here is
why no one is taking you seriously.  You claim the FSF has no
relevance despite the fact that you used *their* license.  The FSF is
full of lawyers in whose opinion *their* license says is not
compatible with the CDDL and thus you are mistaken when you say it is.

You also claim that cdrkit is "illegal".  Your older cdrtools is
licensed under the GPL, the derivative work, cdrkit, is likewise, in
compliance with the GPL, also licensed under the GPL.  Saying it's
illegal is absurd on its face.

This, Joerg, is why no one is taking you seriously in this discussion.
 Again, please accept this as constructive criticism and use this as a
jumping off point to re-evaluate your arguments and frame them in a
way that people can take seriously.

Thank you.
