Hi, I have a question regarding the licensing of the following DeepStream files:
deepstream-5.1/sources/libs/nvmsgconv/nvmsgconv.cpp
deepstream-5.1/sources/libs/nvmsgconv/nvmsgconv.h
In order to create custom metadata objects in DeepStream it has been suggested to edit these two files to add the necessary custom metadata objects. This is suggested in the Nvidia documentation and on the Nvidia forums. It is even how Nvidia does this in their DeepStream occupancy analytics demo.
However, these files have the following restrictive license header.
/*

* and any modifications thereto. Any use, reproduction, disclosure or

* license agreement from NVIDIA Corporation is strictly prohibited.

Is the intention from Nvidia to require a license agreement to be able to edit and distribute these files, even though this is how the documentation suggests adding custom metadata into DeepStream? Could Nvidia change these headers to be less restrictive so that they can be edited and distributed without a specific license agreement?
