Hi,

I am faced with a dilemma.

A bunch of users are asking me to activate the OptiX renderer for Blender. 

Unlike CUDA, OptiX requires some non-free include files during build[1].
The idea is to fetch the headers, that are provided by NVidia with wget 
in order to avoid packaging them up in the source rpm. 

I understand, that this is a problem, but is there any chance to get this 
going. E.g. using the download service, but not packaging it later on.

If I look at builds like gradle or rancher-desktop, they all end up fetching 
huge amounts of binaries from some web resources. 

Here; we're talking about a few header files, that we just should avoid to 
redistribute. 

Here's my current state of affairs[2].

Cheers,
Pete
