The users also have the option of getting the original
cdrecord and install it on their systems if they want.

Cdrecord page:
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html

Cdrtools
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

k3b finds both wodim/cdrecord and use the one that
works best for you.  That way if wodim is not doing
the job, you can bring in the original cdrecord and
burn your cd's.  The wodim/icedax/genisoimage were
created from old sources of cdrtools which were then
GPL, but then were changed to another license which
triggered the emergence of cdrkit(which includes
wodim/icedax/genisomage).
