See, for example, item 3 of:

http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/README?revision=6&view=markup&pathrev=6

This is first version of README in SVN. It seems that the COPYING file
was lost.

License was changed on May 25, 2002, to LGPL. This is now in revision
585 of SVN.

I had old ffmpeg archives, but lost them. My last email is from Jun 2002.
