You could still use it, just like all the other samples which need to be

Why do you think it necessary to ship this sample in the FFmpeg source 
tarball, while all others aren't there, already.

It is quite useful, e.g. it detected that gcc-4.9 broke FFmpeg's flac 
support [1].

Patents are a different issue and no DFSG criterion.
