The Seinfeld DVD releases will not include commentary from Jason Alexander, Michael Richards, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus due to payment disagreements.
Fans discuss why DVD releases lack commentary from three main cast members due to payment disputes, debating whether studios should compensate actors or release DVDs without their participation.
I read about a month ago that 3 of the main actors (all but JS) refused to do interviews for the "forthcoming" dvd's.
Stated was the money that would not be coming to them.
Are the people who own the rights to the show stupid??!! How much money would the dvd's make versus the cost (be it right or wrong) of paying a reasonable amount for the 3 to participate!!
As has been stated, these DVDs are going to make pretty much the same amount of money with or without the actors' commentary, so why should Sony just throw money away???
I'd be perfectly happy with a Jerry/Larry only commentary or interview section. But even without it, I'll buy them all just the same.

You make an ibeteresting point - "the people" who own the rights:
That's why it's taking so long.
You have Jerry and Larry David, Castle Rock, Sony/Columbia, Turner, Time Warner and so on...
Do the lawyer math-- THAT'S why it's taking so long.
