It is not "nicer", it is incompetent. If you read the whole COPYING file
from libg722_1:

https://github.com/traviscross/freeswitch/blob/master/libs/libg722_1/COPYING

you realize is is not actually a license: is does not contain anything
that gives the authorization to use their code.

Compare to the license of fdk-aac, which is proper legalese, gives
explicitly the right to use the code, and has been vetted by Debian.

Not accept their code unless they fix the license. Easy.
