FFmpeg is published under the GNU Lesser General Public License 2.1+ or the GNU General Public License 2+ (depending on which option is enabled).
The name of the project is inspired by the MPEG video standard, "FF" stands for "fast forward". The logo uses a zigzag pattern showing how MPEG video codecs handle entropy encoding. FFmpeg is widely used in audio and video processing software, its library is the core component of media player applications such as VLC, also the core component in YouTube and iTunes video processing when saving file storage.
