Correct, it's claimed to be LGPL not GPL.

Anyway, that is indeed a problem. Even if i download faac from this
www.audiocoding.com site, it still says it's LGPL.

Do you suggest a fix there ? like purchasing a license from someone who really
owns this faac code.

The sources for ConvertHelper are at
http://www.downloadhelper.net/convert-helper.tar.gz as mentioned in the 
README.txt

Concerning FFmpeg sources, i have absolutely no problem hosting those files on
my servers, but it is my understanding that as i deliver an unmodified version
of this program, it is better to link to an official way to get the sources
(through SVN) instead of providing a static source package that is already 
obsolete.

Done.

  http://ffmpeg.org/ or http://www.ffmpeg.org/ instead.

Done.
