Upstream Comment on FE-Legal issue:

vo-aacenc is one library implementing an AAC encoder, libfaac
is another. The patents don't cover any particular implementation -
they're essential to implementing the standard and thus cover all
implementations.

So there can not be any implementations of AAC (nor AMR-WB) that isn't
covered by patents.

Copyrightwise, however, they are proper opensource, contrary to some
earlier AAC and AMR-WB libraries, which were either totally
unredistributable (libamr) or that have dubious origin and thus aren't
considered properly redistributable either.
