anyone else, just edit the license check code out then?

Indeed yes in the case of a free software (but no in the case of MakeMKV)

when the source code is available *you can* and the only thing you mustn't do is distiribute the results

That's correct

as you must not distribute ffmpeg binaries built with the "wrong" configure options

What do you mean?

https://github.com/flathub/com.obsproject.Studio/issues/48

The ffmpeg build distributed by Flathub is illegal. It included a copyright violation. You're not allowed to distribute binaries built with --enable-nonfree. In this case, it probably means removing fdk-aac and replacing it with another aac encoder (like the one built into ffmpeg itself).

OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0 (see http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 for details), which is incompatible to the LGPL version 2.1 and GPL version 2. You have to upgrade FFmpeg’s license to LGPL version 3 (or if you have enabled GPL components, GPL version 3) by passing --enable-version3 to configure in order to use it.

The license of the Fraunhofer AAC library is incompatible with the GPL. Therefore, for GPL builds, you have to pass --enable-nonfree to configure in order to use it. To the best of our knowledge, it is compatible with the LGPL.
