 Q: Are there additional depedencies, compared to cdrtools?
 A: Yes. Libcap is required on Linux plattform. Libmagic is needed to support
-content-based creator/type tables with HFS (optional). Libiconv is needed to
-support iconv-based filename converstion, eg. from UTF-8 ins Joliet's UCS-2
-unicode (optional, on plattform where iconv is not already included in the libc
-system library).

+Q: Why those annoying messages? Can you not remove them?
+A: Joerg Schilling wants you to see those messages. He has embedded them into
+   the source and "protected" them from removal by additional license
+   restrictions. Any attempts to get a clarification on the issues failed. We
+   got some "answers" but most have been unrelated and/or just drawing the
+   attention away from the relevant questions. We cannot make decissions
+   without new and relevant information, no matter how often Joerg Schilling
+   claims that there are no problems with his licensing.
+   Therefore we have to assume that the license is not GPL but something called
+   Shily-GPL, beeing based GPL but enriched with additional terms
+   (restrictions) spread in the source files without attracting attention.
+
+Q: Why not just remove or disable them?
+A: Relevant license restrictions say "you are not allowed" to "modify" or "remove"
+   the "... printing". Disabling the printing by technical means is not much
+   different to removing the stuff, so dealing with that problem on technical
+   level is not the right thing.
