Not only libfaac: $ grep "die_license_disabled nonfree" ffmpeg/configure die_license_disabled nonfree libaacplus die_license_disabled nonfree libfaac The Libav fork also disabled some free but gpl-incompatible libraries: $ grep "die_license_disabled nonfree" libav/configure die_license_disabled nonfree libfaac die_license_disabled nonfree libfdk_aac die_license_disabled nonfree openssl > Your question is valid, the original idea was to make it > more likely to get improvements for the native encoder. > (Instead, even more proprietary aac encoders are > supported now.) > > But note that the native encoder is not as bad for stereo > output and the use case of needing aac encoding without > h264 encoding is at least not extremely common. > I understand, but I'm not asking about the native aac encoder vs others. I wish to know why you think that the fact that linking ffmpeg with any proprietary library (or any free not-gpl compatible library) makes it unredistributable when the LGPL clearly says that this is allowed. ./configure --enable-nonfree [...] License: nonfree and unredistributable
