Register with nvidia to get access to their Video SDK Downloads. Extract the headers from their massive SDK.Patch them so that ffmpeg can make use of them. The vanilla headers are not useful for ffmpeg, as they are not in a format that can be easily included. All the headers in the tree are slightly modified to avoid some type-collision, extend compatibility(for example with Cygwin) and for the dynamic loading we do.
Putting that state of headers into an external repository that someone maintains seems like a giant and confusing mess for every user and distributor. And I don't see any benefit in doing that.
The headers are MIT licensed, so there is no license issue to be found here. They don't cause any issues on any platform where they are used by default.
I also do not see any problem with including the new single-header AMD encoder, it makes everyone's life easier and avoid confusing proxy libraries.
We're not bundling entire 3rd party libs in-tree here, just API headers for system/driver APIs.
