Nero Burning for Linux

Posted by timothy on from the burning-a-hole-in-the-bin dept.

ceasol writes "The German company Nero, developers of the award-winning Nero Burning ROM suite for Windows, now release a free version for Linux called NeroLINUX a CD/DVD Burning Software, and include many features from the Windows version. This software is proprietary but free if you registered." The OEM versions of Nero that come with many CD burners aren't sufficient, though; NeroLINUX is free-as-in-beer only if you've registered "a full version of Nero software version 6 or higher," or a "retail version or downloaded version."

    Can it compete with the likes of GnomeBaker? No? And it costs money? Ok, nothing to see here then.

      When it's about Gnome and Gnome apps, you're right, there's really nothing to see here...

  2. gpl violation? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is a blatent ripoff of k3b... Shouldn't they release their source code so that we can all check it to make sure there is no GPL code stuck in there someplace?? Cause i am pretty sure there is... One guy doesn't come up with a whole burning suite by himself in 40 ... and the interface looks strangly familar... almost like ive seen it someplace before.. It probably even generates error codes similar to this program i used to use for windows.. So, aw, any one got a .torrent??
