+Software License for The Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android
+
+© Copyright  1995 - 2018 Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten
+Forschung e.V. All rights reserved.
+
+ 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.

+modifications thereto to recipients of copies in binary form.
+
+The name of Fraunhofer may not be used to endorse or promote products derived

+of the FDK AAC Codec, the term "Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android"
+must be replaced by the term "Third-Party Modified Version of the Fraunhofer FDK
+AAC Codec Library for Android."
