rpmfusion's job is to provide US patent-law encumbered packages
to the free
world, not to cater US patent laws. I.e. I consider rpmfusion having ripped out
faac encoding from most of its packages to be a failure of rpmfusion and their
leadership.
Actually my read on http://www.audiocoding.com/faac.html and a license review
on Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/faac/+bug/374900 is that
the issue is that the code isn't really LGPL (even if it is redistributable),
rather than because of patent issues, at least not directly. But I could be
wrong in my interpretation.
