Hi, I find this project interesting, however I would be very grateful if you could also provide a version of this script that builds a patent-free FFmpeg version based only on GPL codecs, specifying --enable-gpl --enable -version3 in the configure licensing options.

Yeah I can take a look into this. Just keep tabs on my progress.

I have added this ability to the script. Just pass --enable-gpl-and-non-free to the script to build a non-free version or omit it to build a GNU (free) version of FFmpeg.

I let FFmpeg tell me whether or not a program was free so I only know if they are based on that. You must do your own research to ensure you are not infringing on someone's intellectual property yourself.
