I would like to propose a new package FAAD2 which is
a decoder library for AAC audio codec. This package
is needed by the new package moc I have proposed at
the same time. I have already prepared the package at:
https://tyan0.yr32.net/cygwin/x86_64/release/faad2/

Unfortunately, this cannot be included in the Cygwin distribution.

These packages are now GPL and available from Arch, Debian main repo, *BSD
ports, OpenSuSE, Slack, and more, so there may have been issues with
non-relocatable non-PIC assembler code, patents now expired/lapsed/challenged,
VideoLan or alternative commercial licensing, for example no commercial use
restrictions?
Many codecs like these can be installed on Fedora, etc. from RPMfusion,
UnitedRPMs, or other repos.
See e.g.
https://repology.org/project/faad2/versions
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/f/faad2/faad2_2.10.1-1_copyright

Anything blocked from Fedora itself for legal reasons cannot be part of Cygwin
either. Its inclusion in any other distro or repo is insufficient.

Thanks. I would like to withdraw this package
and remove aac pulugin from moc package.
