Same - recording data-only to the disk, and the error correction worked OK there.

And it's not a problem when that happens. The blank section is error-corrected around, and the disc works fine.
Here's one I did, with a huge oily fingerprint purposely put on a DVD before recording, it was burned, and the 'shadow' of the fingerprint shows up as a huge unburnt patch after the original print has been wiped off.
The disc worked fine afterwards, and worked fine for quite a while until I lost it.

Journal Journal: OpenBSD: GPL violator?
Michael Buesch, lead developer of the Linux driver for Broadcom's wifi chipset (bcm43xx), stumbled across copied code in the OpenBSD's bcw driver earlier this week. The problem is that the bcm43xx linux driver uses a GPL license. OpenBSD inadvertently makes that linux code available to be used in a proprietary manner, by virtue of its BSD license (and not giving proper attribution where due).
