Yes, remove all hardware stuff +1.
Libraries to access hardware, notably those that are talking directly with
something that was shipped with the drivers, are usually considered part of the
OS. This is a bit weird, but this extend the Linux way to other (broken) OSes.
That would make nvenc and such acceptable.
NDI is not hardware. (Nor is faac)
I really don't want to troll here, but there is an NDI PTZ camera:

So is it really that different to a USB camera just because the
singalling is going through ethernet and not USB?
