Decklink SDK has a very weird EULA + headers license that makes it very dubious that it is free. Decklink refuses to clarify for now. That warrants a non-free flag. I know it's very weird, since the SDK has the source code of some of the kernel modules (but not of the glue). Nvenc is different and has clear headers, and well known driver. -- Jean-Baptiste Kempf - President +33 672 704 734 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
