Comment (by llogan):
As Timothy_Gu mentioned, your `ffmpeg` binary uses `--enable-gpl` and
`--enable-version3`, so you need to update `Credits.txt`, `ffmpeg.txt`,
etc, to indicate usage of "GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3 or
later" instead of LGPL 2.1.
Secondly, you need to be able to provide the source code of the exact
version of ffmpeg that you used. You have multiple choices to satisfy this
requirement, but I assume hosting the corresponding source code and making
it simple for anyone to find will probably be easiest for you.
