<http://www.kuro5hin.org/user/FreeNSK>FreeNSK interviewed open source
developers Alexander Noe and Zeb who created some free software utilities=
for Plextor DVD recorders. Noe wrote PxScan and PxView for Windows, while=
Zeb ported them to GNU/Linux under the name PxLinux. The utilities send
special commands to the drives, activating their special features, such as=
media quality checks. Unfortunately, someone wasn't happy with their
efforts, as the parent company of Plextor sent them cease-and-desist
letters accusing them of using "unfair commercial practices"..
