Unfortunately, the FAAC devs are not upstream to this code, it's
"property" of MPEG. And the last sentence of the statement is "This
copyright notice must be included in all copies or derivative works." so
the FAAC devs are not allowed to drop it even if they wanted.

Looks like we are kept check wrt FAAC. :/
