Comment (by yepher):

 So when is the FFmpeg legal team (aka authors?) going to go after Apple
 for all those applications that are currently using the Library without
 adhering to the terms? ;)

 @Reimar,

 So if I understand, what you are saying above is:

 FFMpeg legal would not attempt to prosecute an entity that sells "closed
 source application that contains FFMPeg statically linked" if:
 1. The entity offers the source of the FFmpeg version they used.
 2. Address LGPLv2 "6C" by providing a written offer to provide the source
 code of FFMPeg used for the application. (this presumably also clears
 Apple?)
 3. ensure FFMPeg was built as LGPL and not GPL

 Did I understand you properly?

 Thank you for your patience on this issue.
