- clarify (i hope) faad and faac plugin licencing

Original commit message from CVS:

- clarify (i hope) faad and faac plugin licencing
- move flac from LGPL to Xiph BSD like license (new license since 1.1.1)
- add URL for taking (their SVN repository)
- add version to required libsidplay (siddec won't compile against anything but 1.36.x)

-Faad/faac seems to be under a commercial license.  Plus licensing seems
-to be different if using FAAD or FAAD2 as the underlying library.  Not
-sure how this should be described here or handled in gst-inspect.
+faad's license depends on its major version :
+  - for FAAD1 : it is LGPL
+  - for FAAD2 : it is GPL
+look at these pages for more information on licenses :
+http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAD2
+http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAC
+
+by default, GStreamer faad plugin would compile against FAAD2 if available.
+it falls back to FAAD1 if not.
