The postings on the ML by 'Bouke / Videotoolshed' imply they are calling
ffmpeg rather than linking against it (eg [1]).
The ltcconvert tool may then not be a derivative work, per section 5 of
GNU LGPL2.1. That said, I am not willing to stake anything based simply on
my own reading of the license text or of [2], I am happy to be corrected
on this and welcome input!
Ideally since the vendor is active on ffmpeg-user they should stop by this
ticket and provide info to collaboratively figure out 1) if they are
indeed contravening the license and 2) what they would need to to to
remedy that.
