as long as you only call a binary application via cli it does not matter
under what license the called cli-app is because you do not touch it, no
matter if it is GPL, LGPL, Commerical.....

the other thing is copying the binary-app and this is a totally different
topic, sure you can bundle a binary ffmpeg but you should provide the source
code from which it was compiled and not only link to the homepage because in
the last years the command lines often changed and the sources a year later
me be useless for your tool
