Comment (by apsillers):

 Or is it more correct to summarize your position as: yes, FFmpeg does need
 to be upgraded to GPLv2 to use libx265, but the particular scenario
 detailed in the ticket, wherein FFmpeg's status as GPLv2 interacts with a
 GPLv3 plugin, is not a problem. Other problematic scenarios may arise
 from the mistaken idea that libx265 has a GPLv3 option (e.g., suppose I
 wanted to add GPLv3 code directly into an FFmpeg fork, then my use of
 GPLv2-only x265 option would indeed cause a conflict). Is my first or
 second reading of your position more correct?
