I would really love it if you were more verbose about this. If the binary
package contained the NDI library as well as the FFmpeg binary that was
specifically set to be GPL, I would think these two would constitute a set
of derivative work.
Also if the build was clearly meant to work with a dynamically loaded
library, but was not explicitly linked against it (furthered by the fact
that they'd be distributed together), I'd think the generally idea of a
"derivative work" would apply in this case as well.
