Hello, if I read http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html there is #18 which says "Make sure your program is not using any GPL libraries (notably libx264)."
Could anybody please elaborate on this. How can a caller know if it opens a file and tries to decode it, if Ffmpeg uses LGPL or GPL code? I know that Ffmpeg can be built without --enable-gpl resp. --enable-nonfree, but what if the user replaces LGPLed shared Ffmpeg libraries with GPLed shared Ffmpeg libraries? Now it could happen that an application - without wanting to do so - is using GPL code inside Ffmpeg libraries and thus infringing GPL. What can an application do (mean which Ffmpeg functions can be called) to prevent this?
