I would agree that has some use as an example.

So, as I understand it, in the case of
fdk-aac-free, the packager
(with assistance of legal?) reviewed
the code and stripped the patented codecs.

Using that example, packagers wanting to
continue to use CC0 would need to perform
such a review, strip as needed, and need
legal review?

Is that what you are suggesting?
