If any distro maintainer included ffmpeg by default in their distro then they are telling the world that they'll not make money from the CD or packages in what ever ways possible. Now, what if the maintainer wants to sell CDs of his/her distro? What will happen then? In any case,distro maintenance has two scenarios
a) A company develops/maintains it for money like Canonical, Novell or Redhat but they do not want to include ffmpeg as they'll be making profit...hence risk of law suites.
b) A volunteer or freelancer maintains it who does not want to fall in any kind of legalities so he just skips the package...hence does not include ffmpeg by default.
I hope it is clearer now
