Third-Party Notices and Licenses

Full license texts

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.

LibRaw source

Film Buddy uses the exact, unmodified LibRaw 0.22.0-Release source at upstream commit 823f25dae9b86bf4504511ee42252ebc8d5513b1 under the elected CDDL-1.0 license. LibRaw is statically linked into Film Buddy's standalone first-party Bayer RAW decoder and performs RAW unpacking and metadata extraction; Film Buddy code performs Bayer reconstruction and output generation.

The unmodified upstream snapshot naturally includes both LICENSE.CDDL and LICENSE.LGPL because LibRaw is dual-licensed. The distributed Film Buddy app and this current license list expose the elected CDDL-1.0 text and LibRaw copyright notices; the presence of the alternative LGPL text in upstream source does not change Film Buddy's CDDL-1.0 election.

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

Sony-provided libusb 1.0.26 source archive

SHA-256: b9f2b15e39582ff8527510940e319e3d58198d65a731e43c7a9335639d7be9c5
Sony-provided libssh2 1.10.0 source archive

SHA-256: 386348dbb441963ed48da3b6141b9ce33b8313c41cbd6ced66f2ff98d5ebdc36

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.

Release SBOM

The artifact-level SPDX 2.3 software bill of materials describes the notarized Film Buddy 0.7.20 (build 25) release artifact.

Release SBOM SHA-256: ee6eacd3ccc65ae1d0077394e26d13202df882713db18a78a351d82de6ccd7e3

The inventory identifies Film Buddy's first-party Bayer RAW decoder, its static link to unmodified LibRaw 0.22.0-Release under CDDL-1.0, the physically bundled Sony, Nikon, and Canon camera-SDK components, Sparkle and its bundled notices, the font files, and SQLite as a non-bundled macOS system dependency. It does not identify retired decoder dependencies as components of this release. 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/.

Sparkle 2.9.4

License: MIT and bundled component licenses.

Film Buddy uses Sparkle for signed application update discovery, download, verification, installation, and relaunch. The complete upstream license and included component notices are bundled at Contents/Resources/Legal/Licenses/Sparkle-MIT.txt.

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 CDDL-1.0 license for LibRaw.

The exact, unmodified source is available from 823f25dae9b86bf4504511ee42252ebc8d5513b1; the runtime version macro reports 0.22.0-Release. Aside from build configuration, LibRaw is used unmodified from that commit as a statically-linked library (libraw_r.a) inside the standalone filmbuddy-raw-decode-filmbuddy helper process. LibRaw performs RAW unpacking and metadata extraction; Film Buddy's first-party code performs Bayer reconstruction and output generation. The LibRaw source files used by the build are vendored at native/third_party/libraw in this repository, including its dual-license texts (LICENSE.LGPL, LICENSE.CDDL). Those files remain in the unmodified upstream source snapshot. The distributed app bundles the elected CDDL-1.0 text and the upstream copyright and contributor notices.

JetBrains Mono

License: SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Used as the UI monospace typeface (macos/Assets/Fonts/JetBrainsMono-*.ttf). Full license text at macos/Assets/Fonts/JetBrainsMono-OFL.txt (also bundled into the app at Contents/Resources/Fonts/).

Space Grotesk

License: SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Used as a UI display typeface (macos/Assets/Fonts/SpaceGrotesk-*.ttf). Full license text at macos/Assets/Fonts/SpaceGrotesk-OFL.txt (also bundled into the app at Contents/Resources/Fonts/).

SQLite

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.

Nikon Remote Module SDK / Remote SDK Z-series 2.0.0

License: Proprietary and confidential — used and redistributed under Nikon's Remote SDK agreement (Revision May 15, 2025; Remote-SDK-En-Web-01).

Film Buddy's optional Nikon tethered-capture support (Contents/Helpers/NikonCameraAgent.app) incorporates Nikon runtime modules and configuration resources. Nikon Corporation and its licensors retain all ownership rights in those components and related materials. They are not open-source components and are not published or separately distributed.

Film Buddy is an independent application. Nikon does not own, create, develop, sponsor, or provide support for Film Buddy; Film Buddy alone is responsible for App support.

License: Proprietary — used and redistributed under the Canon U.S.A., Inc. Software Development Kit License Agreement accepted with EDSDK 13.20.21.

Film Buddy's optional Canon tethered-capture support (Contents/Helpers/CanonCameraAgent.app) dynamically links the unmodified Canon macOS runtime supplied as EDSDK.framework, including its CHHLLite.bundle and EdsImage.bundle runtime components. Film Buddy does not distribute Canon SDK headers, documentation, samples, or source.

The Canon runtime may be used only with a compatible Canon-branded product and only in North America, South America, or the Caribbean. Canon and its licensors retain all ownership rights in the runtime. The runtime is provided AS IS.

Film Buddy LLC alone selects and maintains Film Buddy and is responsible for App support.

RESTRICTED RIGHTS: The Canon runtime is provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS. U.S. Government use, duplication, or disclosure is subject to the applicable restrictions in 48 CFR 252.227-7013 and 48 CFR 52.227-19. The contractor/manufacturer is Canon U.S.A., Inc., One Canon Park, Melville, New York 11747.
