Why don't they change the licence of FFMpeg to GPL so that everything uses it is open source? It'd be a win-win.
Then all these companies just wouldn't use it and would use something worse instead. Everything will be inferior and ffmpeg becomes less prominent and loses out on contributors and donations. It's a lose-lose.
Reality is complicated, GPL is awesome for a lot of things but in some cases it can hinder adoption.
