I don't think it can be argued that !NewTek ever wanted to comply with the GPL when they decided to distribute a binary based on FFmpeg and x264 source code. Therefore no contract ever came into effect between the FFmpeg developers and !NewTek and therefore you cannot demand any obligations that result from such a contract.
