Overdrive Link Helper provides the clickable links for library books in the book details panel using the odid identifier set by the Overdrive Link plugin. In order to do this the calibre plugin architecture requires it to be a metadata source plugin even though it doesn't provide any actual metadata. Overdrive Link automatically installs Overdrive Link Helper unless the Disable links in book details panel configuration option is selected.

ETA: I will fix the typo in the helper plugin name in the next release.
Hmm, any chance you can fix that in the main branch? Since you already pull that info for your plugin?
