It doesn't make a difference. The licensing is fundamentally unusable for an open-source project (and there are engineers at nvidia who know this and wish they could write filters leveraging all their various capabilities). The only thing with any nuance is what level of `nonfree` a project is willing to have sitting in their repo. Most projects (including mpv and libplacebo) would say "none", because it's not worth the trouble. ffmpeg has gone back and forth on what exact critera have to be met to qualify as mergeable vs unmergeable nonfree. In the past we have accepted filters based around nvidia libraries with prohibitive licensing - see the libnpp based filters, but I don't think we have the appetite for that now. If we were to decide that this filter was ok on that basis, I'd merge it, but honestly, the usability benefit of it being in master is tiny vs all the other hoops you have to jump through. Anyway - punchline: it is not easier to get this kind of thing merged into other projects. --phil _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
