Scratch that vote.

cdrtools uses LICENSE="GPL-2 LGPL-2.1 CDDL-Schily" while libdvdcss/libdvdread
use LICENSE="GPL-2".

On the flip, cdrtools is already installed here - and likely a runtime
dependency for CDW, else cdrkit which hasn't seen development for a long time.

The only other package media-libs/libdvdread pulls in here is
media-libs/libdvdcss if the user uses USE Flag css - for which libdvdcss is for
DVD decryption.

I don't have these last two mentioned packages installed because I don't have
*any* free time to watch those DVD Movies, which are encrypted.

So which ever way you go, I don't think you'll hear much griping!!!
