Greetings,

I apologize if this is not the correct list for this but
as I am a developer this seemed the appropriate
place to post this.

I'm wondering about the LGPL/GPL licensing. Does
it apply to you if you are distributing a program that
invokes a pre-compiled ffmpeg binary that has not been
modified from the original sources? The website also
warns that ffmpeg is LGPL but some components are
GPL licensed and that if you use them you must abide
by the GPL license. Again, if you are not using things
in the binary does this apply? Or would a custom binary
with these components not included need to be compiled?
If the sources are not altered and you are compiling the
binary as is, would you be subject to the LGPL/GPL
for the program written that is invoking the ffmpeg binary?

Thanks in advance,

Gabe
