Oh, and for the technical issues:

(In reply to Wim Taymans from comment #34)
> Comment #11: why not have fdk-aac-stripped?
>   - Looking at freetype, and because the library is API and ABI compatible,
>     it's better to have fdk-aac as the base name for the -devel and -debug.
>     That way all packages can build against the more natural fdk-aac-devel

You can build fdk-aac-{stripped,free,patentfree,whatever} and fdk-aac-devel
from the same package, either a fdk-aac.spec with no main package, or by using
%package -n, or by using a virtual Provides (Provides: fdk-aac-devel in the
%package devel of your fdk-aac-*.spec).

So I still don't think shipping this as just fdk-aac is helpful, both for
honesty to users and for upgrade path reasons. The model to follow is
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free, not freetype, which is the way it is for historical
reasons mostly.

But of course this discussion is absolutely moot if the license turns out not
to be acceptable to begin with. Debian's opinion does not per se count, but the
FSF needs to be asked.
