  Ffmpeg’s code is owned by hundreds of people, you’d have to get them all to agree to relicense.

    So it is possible just hard.

      Some are dead, the copyright will have passed on in their wills to next of kin.

    Not if you only change the license of the encompassing project, and leave the license of the sub-projects intact. Corporations are too addicted to plug-and-play software to be switching away to those sub-projects; also they'd lose the benefit of the maintenance (you could choose a new license once you maintain parts of the code).
