Yep, I fixed it with the help of James Cowgill (he maintains aom with
the same patent license) and re-upload the new version in January (~ 2
weeks after the reject).

I did not ping them about this package but if Sebastian already tried
to do it without any success, I guess I will not have more luck.

Since the version 0.7.0 (the last version in NEW queue), there is no
longer any files with Alliance-for-Open-Media-Patent-License-1.0 in
their header. This AOM-Patent-License-1.0 is only provided in
doc/PATENTS, so maybe this will simplify the approval.

Best,
Dylan
