Faad/faac seems to be under a commercial license. Plus licensing seems faad's license depends on its major version :
to be different if using FAAD or FAAD2 as the underlying library. Not - for FAAD1 : it is LGPL
sure how this should be described here or handled in gst-inspect. - for FAAD2 : it is GPL
look at these pages for more information on licenses :
http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAD2
http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAC
by default, GStreamer faad plugin would compile against FAAD2 if available.
it falls back to FAAD1 if not.
