IANAL, but the big difference is that aadec.c only requires replication
of the notice in source code, while this license demands the notice be
distributed in binary packages. I don't know whether - from ffmpeg
source i.e. developer view - it suffices to drop this into LICENSE.md,
or it needs to be marked as unfree because this cannot be ensured.
