You could have added that the header is MIT licensed and gives explicit permission to distribute it:) Plus, since any interaction with the nVidia binaries occurs at runtime, there is no remote chance of dodgy linking. Furthermore, the FSF considers it compatible with GPL: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#X11License . Personally I would just submit it to multimedia:libs and see if it passes muster when it's submitted to Factory and SUSE lawyers have fun at nitpicking. Although perhaps the scope of their examination would be partial.
