ffmpeg is LGPL; it is used by hundreds of commercial applications around the world. For that matter, it has no commercial competitors for many of its use-cases.
Even On2, a competing encoder company, includes instructions with its encoder on how to set up mplayer (which uses ffmpeg) for decoding input videos.
