Well, of course, but that's not really my concern: it's more that even if you 
were playing by the rules, it might actually be quite difficult to prove that. 
Someone could claim that the source code being distributed was not the source 
code used to compile the binary in question, and it would be next to impossible 
to prove otherwise - especially as you'd be trying to persuade a court full of 
people who are not software engineers and have only the haziest understanding 
of what code and compiled objects even are.
This is not a problem specific to ffmpeg, it's just a piece of software that 
seems especially likely to be targeted for this sort of thing, given what it 
does.
