That would be OpenJPEG.  I have made quite a few contributions to OpenJPEG.
For a number of reason which I don't want to bore you with, I decided to
fork the project.

Now, since parts of FFMpeg are licensed under GPL 2, and usage of them
flips the license to GPL 2,
it seems to me that adding an Affero component should not be a big deal.

Or am I wrong?  Someone mentioned EVIL :)
