There are a number of Nvidia specific encoding and decoding
APIs that are supported by ffmpeg. They require
nv-codec-headers,[1] which was split out of ffmpeg. See [2]
and [3] for more info.
It would be really nice to have this as Nvidia is no longer developing VDPAU and new codecs (e.g. HEVC) can only be accelerated with these new APIs. [1] https://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg/nv-codec-headers.git [2] https://superuser.com/a/1299250 [3] https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro#NVENC |

https://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=325e56479ff64c884f3bcccf922a7f7163488b89 indicates ffmpeg extracted it under that license
You could register with NVIDIA for their Video Codec SDK to check or ask NVIDIA if those files are distributed correctly under the Expat/MIT license.
