This is the header of _one_ file. the LGPL refers to the "library"

"Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation."

AFAIK FFmpeg is _not_ a library, btw thanks for making me reading what
matters, to be able to realize that even you, do not have this
"knowledge" you claim.
