Software License for The Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android
© Copyright 1995 - 2012 Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der
angewandten Forschung e.V.
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.
