You closed the bug because of a non-existant licensing issue.
In addition, as Terence pointed out, the library is in the main repository
of Ubuntu, so Canonical does not recognize the licensing--or patent--issues.

If Canonical does not recognize the issue and provides the library under the
main--not restricted, universe, or multiverse--repository, it doesn't make
sense to not fix this dependency.

For reference, the me-tv and xine-ui packages already depend on
libxine1-ffmpeg.
