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. - -2.

For modified versions 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." - -3.
