I was supposing that libav was 100% LGPL (with no GPL code). If libav contains GPL code then the whole viral nature of the GPL license will entangle everything. AFAIK there is no practical difference between being libav 100% GPL or beeing libav 1% GPL. You have to obey the GPL in both cases, which means that you can't link libav with GPL-incompatible license software. Isn't it?
