>From that page: "However, a patent license is required for all manufacturers or developers of AAC codecs, that require encoding or decoding. [5] It is for this reason FOSS implementations such as FAAC and FAAD are distributed in source form only, in order to avoid patent infringement. AAC requires a patent license, and thus uses proprietary technology. But contrary to popular belief, it is not the property of a single company, having been developed in a standards-making organization." Key points: "a patent license is required for all manufacturers or developers of AAC codecs" "AAC requires a patent license, and thus uses proprietary technology." > > Nero do a free AAC encoder - > http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/Nero_Digital_Audio.html It's windows-only.
