I know (https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers/commit/72f8b4bc6a2225c6fec6c046bb45c4a6be391f9f)

> This is community-driven project which aims to work around the licensing policies.

Talking about this rarely ends well, 

> So we can't influence ffmpeg development too much and only supports it's development with patches.

I'm sure, all contributions are welcome, small and big ones ;-)

> Changing compile-time checks with runtime checks is a big thing to do and in order to convince community to accept such changes we need to have very solid background.

I know that it's not a small thing and it will surely be better to discuss this first (not with me...).

Anyway, great to see Nvidia participating again!
