+> The problem is the following:
+>
+> 1. faac cannot go into main (see 2 & 3)
+> 2. faac cannot go into tainted (it is not free software)
+> 3. faac cannot go into nonfree (patented in some countries)
+>
+> so we only have 2 options:
+> A. ban faac and use the AAC encoder(s) we already have in mageia
+>    or another one that can go into tainted
+> B. add a special repository for faac
+
+Looking at the history if the discussion (and especially this thread),
+it seems that a third option was clearly stated and approved by a few
+contributors:
+
+C. Change the definition of the Tainted repository to open it to
+non-free software.

+> I prefer option A and I patched a gstreamer based video encoding app to use
