Is it wise to get into the area of enforcement? It's so easy to get around... Our software uses FFmpeg, and we check for the LGPL string as a safeguard to make sure we never ship a GPL FFmpeg build by mistake. A side effect is that the legitimate (GPL permitted) user action of replacing our FFmpeg binaries with their own (possibly GPLd) versions is not supported by our application. Seems like a mine field to me. If the builder/distributor of FFmpeg asserts that they have a suitably license for x264 (etc.) then let them get on with it... ?
