Subject: Please move fdk-aac to main
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hello,

Currently the fdk-aac[0] package is in non-free.

That package would be needed by both pulseaudio (via gstreamer) and
pipewire to provide AAC support for bluetooth headsets and speakers.

After some discussion with people on #debian-gnome, it looks like that
the licence of the package might actually be free after all.

Both the GNU project[1] and Fedora[2] are considering it Free.

Could you please have a look at this an maybe move the package to main?

Note that this would remove the need of src:gst-plugins-bad1.0-contrib
that is currently waiting in the NEW queue.

Kind Regards,

Laurent Bigonville

As fdk-aac has been rejected and won't make it into main, I think this bug can be closed now.
