Per bug 1501522 comment 112, Red Hat Legal has declared that the clause that
led to FFmpeg upstream putting it in the nonfree section[1] is a no-op, and
fdk-aac-free does not have a GPL incompatibility in practice. Fedora's ffmpeg
package, which explicitly builds against fdk-aac-free, could patch to move it
out of the nonfree list. I would prefer to have it linked so that users can
choose to swap implementations freely as they desire.

That said, since this BZ already is blocked on FE-Legal, we can also ask Fedora
Legal to check and see if we can enable the built-in AAC codec in FFmpeg, as I
believe it supports the same algorithms that our fdk-aac-free package does. If
they are okay with that codec, we can enable that and put the question around
linking to fdk-aac-free off for later.
