The following static files mirror the license bundle assembled from the canonical Film Buddy app source and are available without an account:

The Sony Camera Remote SDK agreement is maintained by Sony at its Camera Remote SDK License Agreement.

Corresponding Source

The exact GPL-covered RAW helper source for Film Buddy 0.7.0 (build 1) is available without an account or access code as the versioned Corresponding Source archive.

Corresponding Source SHA-256: 96bb1b1f494248f0a64ce0492277dcf921173befeb45260b5174a78a07046470

The archive includes the exact source, dependency source, build material, interface definitions, modifications, and practical signing, relinking, and Installation Information for the shipped helper.

The reviewed Sony Camera Remote SDK 2.02.00 open-source source packages are available without an account or access code:

These are unchanged copies of the two open-source archives supplied by Sony; they do not contain Film Buddy source, Sony SDK headers, or Sony proprietary libraries.

Publishing these two Sony-provided archives satisfies the camera transport source-package item for the current beta release. The Corresponding Source and release SBOM above remain available for the duration of distribution.

Release SBOM

The artifact-level SPDX 2.3 software bill of materials describes the notarized Film Buddy 0.7.0 (build 1) release artifact.

Release SBOM SHA-256: 8d8ade98e5e7a7c0c6e45b6b1c316dd7b19c7591067c5d6ce1faede8cb108e03

The inventory identifies librtprocess by exact upstream commit 9a858270acb2096e2e403d932760ee688fcac425, plus Film Buddy's documented one-line CMake minimum-version change. The embedded SLEEF headers are identified from that same pinned commit. Font files use their exact content hashes, and SQLite is identified as the non-bundled macOS system libsqlite3 dependency. The SBOM and checksum identify the active notarized beta release.


Film Buddy is a native macOS application. It bundles or links the following third-party components. This file is included in the distributed app at Contents/Resources/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md. Full component license texts are under Contents/Resources/Legal/Licenses/; bundled font licenses are also under Contents/Resources/Fonts/.


LibRaw 0.22.0-Release source snapshot

License: dual-licensed LGPL-2.1 or CDDL-1.0, at the licensee's option. Film Buddy elects the LGPL-2.1 license for LibRaw.

The exact source is upstream commit 823f25dae9b86bf4504511ee42252ebc8d5513b1; the runtime version macro reports 0.22.0-Release. LibRaw is used unmodified from that commit, aside from build configuration, as a statically-linked library (libraw_r.a) inside the standalone filmbuddy-raw-decode-libraw helper process described below. Complete LibRaw source is vendored at native/third_party/libraw in this repository, including its license texts (LICENSE.LGPL, LICENSE.CDDL).

Copyright (C) 2008-2025 LibRaw LLC and the contributors identified in the bundled LibRaw-COPYRIGHT.txt.


librtprocess vendored snapshot

License: GPL-3.0-or-later.

The exact source is upstream commit 9a858270acb2096e2e403d932760ee688fcac425, plus Film Buddy's documented one-line CMake minimum-version change. The vendored README identifies this source as 0.12.0, while its CMake project metadata still reports 0.11.0. The release SBOM and checksummed Corresponding Source archive identify the exact shipped source tree rather than relying on that inconsistent version metadata.

librtprocess provides the AMaZE (Bayer) and Markesteijn (X-Trans) demosaic algorithms used by the RAW decode helper. Because librtprocess is GPL-3, the program that links it — filmbuddy-raw-decode-libraw (native/raw-decoder/main.cpp) — is a standalone GPL-3.0 program. It is never linked into the Film Buddy app binary or into any other Film Buddy component. The app invokes the separate executable with CLI arguments and communicates through files and standard output/error (see native/raw-decoder/main.cpp and docs/libraw_migration.md).

Corresponding Source. The exact helper source, covered dependency source, build scripts, and modifications for Film Buddy 0.7.0 (build 1) are published as the versioned source archive. The same archive is linked beside the application download. Contact hello@filmbuddyapp.com if the download is unavailable.

Corresponding Source SHA-256: 96bb1b1f494248f0a64ce0492277dcf921173befeb45260b5174a78a07046470

SLEEF (vendored inside librtprocess)

License: Boost Software License 1.0.

librtprocess vendors portions of the SLEEF SIMD math library (native/third_party/librtprocess/src/include/sleef.h, sleefsseavx.h) under the Boost Software License 1.0. These portions are distributed unmodified as part of the librtprocess source tree referenced above.

libomp 22.1.8 (LLVM OpenMP runtime)

License: Apache License 2.0 with LLVM Exceptions.

librtprocess uses OpenMP for parallel demosaic passes; on macOS Film Buddy builds the LLVM OpenMP runtime from pinned upstream source and bundles the resulting libomp.dylib beside the filmbuddy-raw-decode-libraw helper — see tools/build_compatible_libomp.sh, tools/build_libraw_decoder.sh, and tools/build_native_mac_app.sh. Film Buddy does not modify the libomp source; packaging changes the dylib install name to @rpath/libomp.dylib and signs the result for macOS distribution. Source for the pinned version is available from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-22.1.8.

Sony Camera Remote SDK 2.02.00

License: Proprietary — redistributed under the Sony Camera Remote SDK License Agreement, https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/sdk/licenseagreement_d/en-US.html.

Film Buddy's tethered-capture support (sony-camera-agent, Contents/Helpers/SonyCameraAgent.app/Contents/Frameworks/libCr_Core.dylib and Contents/Helpers/SonyCameraAgent.app/Contents/Frameworks/CrAdapter/*.dylib) links against the Sony Camera Remote SDK. The SDK's Grant of License clause (ii) permits incorporating the binary library files into an application and distributing that application to third parties, subject to the agreement's requirements and limitations. The hosted agreement above is the operative license; an archived copy is retained with Film Buddy's release-compliance records.

The distributed transport payload also contains Sony-provided proprietary monitor-protocol libraries. They are covered by the Camera Remote SDK agreement and are not open-source components.

Film Buddy is an independent application. Sony is not the owner, licensor, creator, or developer of Film Buddy. Sony is a trademark or registered trademark of Sony Corporation.

Open-source components bundled with the Sony SDK

The Sony SDK's CrAdapter transport plugins include the following open-source libraries, redistributed inside Contents/Helpers/SonyCameraAgent.app/Contents/Frameworks/CrAdapter/:

  • libusb 1.0.26 (libusb-1.0.0.dylib) — LGPL-2.1-or-later. https://libusb.info/. Source code for the version used is provided by Sony in the SDK package (SourceCodeOfOpenSourceSoftware/libusb.zip) and is available as the unchanged Sony-provided libusb source archive. Its SHA-256 is b9f2b15e39582ff8527510940e319e3d58198d65a731e43c7a9335639d7be9c5. It is distributed as a standalone dynamic library; a replacement build also requires the modified nested helper and application to be signed in accordance with macOS security requirements.
  • libssh2 1.10.0 (libssh2.dylib) — BSD-3-Clause. Copyright the libssh2 project, https://libssh2.org/. Source provided by Sony in the SDK package (SourceCodeOfOpenSourceSoftware/libssh2.zip) is published as the unchanged Sony-provided libssh2 source archive. Its SHA-256 is 386348dbb441963ed48da3b6141b9ce33b8313c41cbd6ced66f2ff98d5ebdc36.

The applicable LGPL-2.1-or-later and libssh2 BSD license texts are included under Contents/Resources/Legal/Licenses/. Source packages or source-offer materials provided with the exact Sony SDK release are preserved with Film Buddy's release-compliance archive and made available through the public, no-login downloads above.
