ffmpeg/libav can either be installed with an LGPL license or a GPL license.

IANAL, but my understanding is:

If it's installed as an LGPL library, then we're allowed to link to it, and the MIT license stands.
If it's installed as a GPL library, then VideoIO.jl and any program that uses it is required to be (collectively) licensed as GPL (although the individual components keep their respective licenses if they are separated from the collection).
