Description
The company V-Nova advertises commercial availability of an FFmpeg build with their proprietary codecs added: https://docs.v-nova.com/v-nova/lcevc/reference-applications/ffmpeg
While downloads do not appear to be available for non-customers, I feel it's a safe assumption that they do not provide source code as required by the LGPL considering the quote "Please note, LCEVC is proprietary to V-Nova and subject to V-Nova's proprietary licence. Therefore, distribution of any pre-compiled subsystem is strictly prohibited, even between group companies."
