If we redistribute FAAC/FAAD2 (which are redistributed in source form via sourceforge), then we shouldn't have problems building other stuff with them. There are questionable patent infringements and possibilities, but all upstream (in this case) does is remain on the safe side by not providing any binaries themselves, since they would be liable first. FFMPEG follows suit by displaying warnings, which is useful to distributors who have strict packaging policies (like Ubuntu with their multiverse repository). -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10
