It was never GPL, but claimed to be LGPL in the past. However, this was never true. Half the files are nonfree, thus making all of libfaac nonfree. http://www.audiocoding.com/faac.html > 2- source code: the source code of ConvertHelper is made available to everyone > through download.

Please also fix the following: - It's called FFmpeg, not FFMpeg (notice the spelling). - Do not link to http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/, use http://ffmpeg.org/ or http://www.ffmpeg.org/ instead.
