Hi Patrick,
How is this requirement accessed?
Because most Server OS currently use Open Source software in their inner
workings (ex. Windows uses a network stack derived from open source BSD).
So it will depend alot on the "complancy" tests that are used when
selecting software.
FFmpeg can be forbided to be used directly this way. But if you select
another software, you may end up using FFmpeg indirectly.
Also of importance in this case is what is it that you (your client) is
using ffmpeg for (or would be using). I mean, what input and output is
required?
ffmpeg is just a kind of "envelop" thingy that grabs a source from one
side, with certain codecs for audio / video, processes it and saves it
with another set of codecs.
Of importance here is the codecs that get used. And you are right, at
least parcially in the reasoning that some of the codecs in use may be
encumbered with legal issues. BUT normally, the ffmpeg that is shiped
with most Linux distributions don't include those codecs (enfasis on the
normally, as i dont have 1st hand experience on this).
I would suggest checking software from Adobe and Apple to start, as they
may have what you need for (even if it may be based on ffmpeg as stated
before).
Another source would be checking Sorenson because they produce closed
source codecs and video processing stuff as well.
Without more hints on the kind of infrastructure / special needs, it
will be hard to find something that you "could" use...
Hope to have being of help...
Kind regards,
:)

That's insane! Are you running entirely on closed source servers then?

For legal reasons, one of our client strictly forbids us to use any open

So does anyone know of any other software that we could buy and
install on
the server side that can merge an image sequence and a sound file in a
single video file like FFmpeg?
Thanks for any suggestions...
