Considering that FFmpeg is LGPL-licensed, I think recommending proprietary
software that uses FFmpeg exposes us to significant legal risk, because, as
far as I can tell, the LGPL is incompatible with proprietary patent
licenses. So I do not see how that proprietary software can be complying at
the same time with the LGPL and the patent license.
