This would be one of the reasons why the GPL and its derivatives make  
absolutely no sense whatsoever.

What's the functional difference?!

What's the situation with including an ffmpeg CLI binary with rental

If I do that, if it's an embedded system, how do I make the required  
source code offer?

None of this has been thought through very carefully, has it...
