PS: Especially now that Fedora ships a stripped FFmpeg, there is really no
good reason to not do the stripping of encumbered parts of the AAC spec on
the LGPL-licensed built-in FFmpeg AAC codec instead. That would also make it
easier to switch to the unstripped FFmpeg AAC codec from RPM Fusion. (Right
now, things like GStreamer use fdk-aac-free directly, not through FFmpeg, so
switching to FFmpeg AAC is not a simple drop-in replacement.)
