Having a great time learning more about Media Toolkit! Nice work!

I did have a question regarding the licensing of this library and packaging. The FFMPEG licensing checklist (https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html) specifies that the GPL libraries shouldn't be compiled if building a version under the LGPL. But the ffmpeg source readme has the following: "This FFmpeg build was configured with:
--enable-gpl"

There were some other stipulations from the FFMPEG checklist, of course, but does the Media Toolkit library work around this somehow? Software licensing has been kinda an odd thing to me to wrap my head around. Any explanation would be most helpful.

Thank you.

PS

Not sure how many would find this useful but I've found the following helpful in simplifying software licensing: https://tldrlegal.com/
