--- Comment #61 from Kevin Kofler <kevin(a)tigcc.ticalc.org> ---
(In reply to David Vásquez from comment #59)
If fdk-aac was approved, then welcome (I will give positive karma
here). The
world is changing, and we must adapt. The user must choose; then we need
give the user the options. If some third-party repository does not want to
maintain the original fdk-aac, It is problem of the repository; other will
do... This is how the world works.
The problem is that the third-party repository was previously shipping a
different codec, the built-in one from FFmpeg, as the default, with nicer
licensing and better FFmpeg integration. Now they'll have to deal with fdk-aac
just because Fedora decided to ship a crippled version of it. And they'll have
to do an fdk-aac-freeworld override without a real need for it.
And the other problem is that the decoder Fedora is going to ship silently
produces wrong sound for some input files! That fits my definition of a broken
decoder exactly.

That's irrelevant. RH legal already cleared it.
So you would be happy to ship something the FSF considers non-free?
