I think there's precedents for accepting it for Fedora: - libXNVCtrl, another X extension library that happens to only do anything when the user is running the nvidia binary driver, but which is itself MIT-licensed. - gstreamer-plugins-flumpegdemux, which allows you to separate the audio and video streams from MPEG files, even though the decoding itself is off-limits for Fedora It happens that only nvidia implements VDPAU at the moment, but so what? Any other vendor could too. - ajax
