Facts check:
Legal aspect: AntDM does not link, embed, or modify any FFmpeg code within its closed-source core. It executes the compiled standalone binary strictly via the standard Command Line Interface (CLI) as an independent process. According to the FSF guidelines, this is completely legal and does not violate GPL/LGPL terms.
Technical aspect: The official FFmpeg community discontinued and deprecated 32-bit (x86) Windows builds long ago. Mainstream modern compilers only distribute 64-bit binaries. Since AntDM maintains a lightweight 32-bit architecture for lower RAM usage and broader OS compatibility, the developer uses the only technically viable and stable x86 binary available to ensure the video merging feature actually works for everyone.
There is no “stealing” here—just standard software architecture and platform limitations.
