The FFmpeg web-site says FFmpeg may be found in both GPL and LGPL forms:

" FFmpeg is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later. However, FFmpeg incorporates several optional parts and optimizations that are covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. If those parts get used the GPL applies to all of FFmpeg."

It seems difficult to say when wine loads it which license applies. I think this is an area where things may not be entirely clear license-wise, but couldn't that pose a problem?
