 Software License for The Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android

 © Copyright  1995 - 2018 Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten

  1.    INTRODUCTION
 The Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android ("FDK AAC Codec") is software
 that implements the MPEG Advanced Audio Coding ("AAC") encoding and decoding
 scheme for digital audio. This FDK AAC Codec software is intended to be used on
 a wide variety of Android devices.

 AAC's HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 versions are regarded as today's most efficient
 general perceptual audio codecs. AAC-ELD is considered the best-performing
 full-bandwidth communications codec by independent studies and is widely
 deployed. AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC as part of the MPEG
 specifications.

 Patent licenses for necessary patent claims for the FDK AAC Codec (including
 those of Fraunhofer) may be obtained through Via Licensing
 (www.vialicensing.com) or through the respective patent owners individually for
 the purpose of encoding or decoding bit streams in products that are compliant
 with the ISO/IEC MPEG audio standards. Please note that most manufacturers of
 Android devices already license these patent claims through Via Licensing or
 directly from the patent owners, and therefore FDK AAC Codec software may
 already be covered under those patent licenses when it is used for those
 licensed purposes only.

 Commercially-licensed AAC software libraries, including floating-point versions
 with enhanced sound quality, are also available from Fraunhofer. Users are
 encouraged to check the Fraunhofer website for additional applications
 information and documentation.
