Please don't top-post.
libavcodec/aacdec.c's header isn't BSD. It's LGPL, like most of our code.
We have a test that runs to check the header of every file in our repo,
and unfortunately, that test doesn't have a law degree. So, you have to copy
the header verbatim from other files (which you can BSD is compatible
with LGPL, so if you copy the author's attributions, you can), or add an exception
(we generally don't, except for some optional GPL code we have).
