The ASL does contain a patent grant to users of the official ALAC code [1]. However, alac.c is a third-party implementation developed back in 2005, so I don't know what the status is. I'm blocking FE-LEGAL to see what the experts say. Is this alac.c [2] ok to have in Fedora? Or is it infringing on any Apple patents?
