> The BlackMagic Decklink drivers are not system libraries.
Thank you for clarifying about the headers vs the library, I was confused about that at first. The GPL definition of system library is hard to understand, but I was mostly basing my opinion on this discussion of NVENC. It relies on the proprietary Nvidia driver, which you agreed was a system library. How is the Decklink driver different?

If the explanation is correct, the patch is ok imo.
Thank you, Carl Eugen
