What you say above is completely true. >> faac-1.28-3plf2011.0.src.rpm > > The software license is LGPL 2 or later, according to Sophie > http://sophie.zarb.org/rpms/7f88a24475773b9426d03122bcaa521f It is tagged incorrectly. It contains ISO reference source code that forbids use in products that do not claim conformance to MPEG-2 NBC/MPEG-4 standards. Actually faac is what this thread is about. >> Where will we put these in Mangeia?
