If those people just want to know if FFmpeg is used by Rhozet, they have to
search the EULA for FFmpeg (or the installation directory for avcodec.dll or
similar).

If you want to know if they are still violating the LGPL, you have to look at
their EULA: If it does mention FFmpeg and still forbids reverse engineering,
they are not in compliance.
