I already said that and both Wim and FESCo said they're fine with that. There's
no need to repeat things ad nauseam.

I wouldn't, but FSF hasn't spoken on this matter yet, as far as I know. Can you
provide a link to a public statement by FSF saying otherwise? I don't see the
FDK AAC license on https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html and I trust
spot's opinion that it's unlikely they will consider it non-free.
