fdk-aac: who knows more?

[Fabian Greffrath]

Hi all,

I have just seen that another AAC encoder library called "fdk-aac" has 
been derived from the Android sources and caused some stir in the 
community because of its ambigous license terms. Support for this 
library has been instantly added to libav, but it has since then been 
moved to the non-free feature set. This is a pity, as it seems to be a 
rather high-quality encoder and more feature-complete than vo-aacenc. 
Does someone know if the license situation is going to change and if 
it thus makes sense to prepare this package for Debian?

Is fdk-aac finally the first *free* high-quality AAC encoder or is it 
just the next *non-free* one after FAAC?
