Including faac itself is no less safe than other patent-encumbered
codecs, since the non-free parts do not forbid redistribution.

However, the license of software 'x' may forbid (like GPL does)
distributing a binary of 'x' which is linked against non-free code
(which faac has), hence it may not be ok to build 'x' with faac support.
