Don't know if this is the right place to report this, but I came across this product "Air Video" at http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html that appears to be distributing FFMpeg without complying with the license.

Air Video is an iPhone/iPad application that uses a server component, named Air Video Server to stream video to the iPhone. It appears to use FFMpeg to do the conversion.

A Mac OSX version of FFMpeg is contained in the Server.app bundle and the server's log file ouputs the following when a stream is started:
