     @takao @tatsumoto Please provide more details.
     
     As far as I'm aware, ffmpeg doesn't contain any proprietary software, although it optionally has support for hardware decoding/encoding that relies on proprietary software, but those flags are not enabled by default and can't be enabled without installing such proprietary libraries.

     @Suiseiseki @tatsumoto please make sure ffmpeg is compiled in a way that produces a free as in freedom binary, though.

     @Suiseiseki @tatsumoto you can build it with (((patented))) technologies, which restricts redistribution rights.

     @takao @tatsumoto If you're not in the USA, you can do and redistribute it and tell them to cope about their invalid patents.
